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.

Juicy, sparkling, a little tart cherry. It’s like what cider would taste like if it were good.

This stuff is awesome! REALLY INTERESTING! A touch sweet, cherry, barrel contributions, kind of like a Belgian brew flavor in there. Wonderful aroma. I like it! I'll add that I am drinking it fairly warm, maybe 50/55⁰F. I would suggest that to all.

Not at all what I expected, but it's tasty. The bourbon is more of a smell than a taste, and the maple syrup taste comes through more. Surprisingly balanced, and not overpowering.
