Frootwood

Fruit Beer

We took a crisp, light-bodied cherry ale and hid it away in oak barrels that have held both bourbon and maple syrup. After a lengthy stint, it emerged a changed beer, blanketed in notes of warm vanilla and earthy sweetness. The wood proves itself the star of this beer, adding depth and taming the tart cherry while the maple imposes a velvety texture that lingers for not a moment too long.

Frooty kersenbier, licht zuurtje maar vooral de zoetigheid van de bourbon en maple syrup BA komt door. Heel zacht

Oooooooo. Quite a delicious blend of cherry and maple bourbon. Not for those who don’t like to try something “different”. I found it absolutely amazing!!!! Cheers!!! 🍻

All the notes come out. A bit too barrel heavy for the poor cherry beer to keep up though

Repeat. Cherry, vanilla & maple on the nose. Taste mirrors the aroma exactly! Subtle oak barrel. No bitterness whatsoever. Maple surprisingly pairs well with vanilla & cherries. 🍒

Sweet cherries and bourbon. What’s not to like? This is actually a little lighter too so it doesn’t sit too hard. Very tasty!

Bourbon BA cherry ale with maple syrup. 👁️ Orange-red with a white head 👃🏼 Cherries, vanilla, oak. Comforting. 👅 Sweet from the maple and bourbon, vanilla, oak. Sour/tart from the cherries, well-balanced 👄 Thin, but sticky and soft

Cleaning out the fridge at home. This beer smells worse than it is. I was almost afraid to try it. Tastes cherry and barrel-y, which I'm not convinced is a good combination in this case.

Clearing the fridge a bit and found one of these. I think it’s 6 years old and if you come across one in the back of your fridge don’t even get curious. Just pour this bad cough syrup down the drain. Your fault, not the beers.

I bought this at Gold Eagle Liquor knowing that it’s over a year old but they are still selling it and it’s a favorite. A little dank and maybe funky but all in all that’s the flavor. Looking forward to some freshies. 🍻🥹

It is exactly what it claims to be. A bit tart, but it's got a nice depth.

I would like to try the cherry ale first, then give this a shot. As it stands it's a bit linger-y, despite the description.
