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.

Tart cherries are sweetened by maple syrup. There is vanilla flavor As well as a light bourbon. Absolutely delicious and unusual unique to itself A

Excellent. I’m not normally into fruit flavored beer but this has a mellow finish.

Similar to new glarus... Lovely execution and why don't more breweries make something like this? 2021 vintage (11.15.2021). Cherry pie filling and molasses. Sweet and thick, light wood tannin and oak and maple. Would go hard in autumn. Tasty fruit beer.

Charred bourbon soaked oak on the nose with a slightly tart aroma. Taste is different as I haven't had anything similar before. I like it. Taste is what cherry wood smells like. Smoky Oak. Bourbon. Vanilla. Tart Cherry. A bitter aftertaste.

Super zacht subtiel kersje, op bourbon gelagerd waardoor hij een heerlijke vanille alcoholische smaak krijgt. Barley achtig. Love it.
