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.

Very delicious. The fruit flavor is nice and it cuts the bourbon flaovers down. Don't really detect maple but there really is no lingering finish. Is very smooth. Easy drinker.

Split one of these with Linda and mine portion is almost gone! Reminds me of a cross between Rubeus and Cerise.

WOW! Their description is spot on. Oak IS the spotlight, with a hint of bourbon in the background. There is a touch of sweetness. And the sour cherry IS moderated beautifully, with a huge depth of character. A unique and enjoyable elixir.

Starts like a tripel and gets fruity/sweet.

Huge cherry and bittering cranberry flavor upfront. A good amount of wood blends in as well. Not too much maple, bourbon heat is here and there. Tasty and sweet, fun drink to end the night. Good beer.

Nose is light sweet cherry. Good body, boozy, lovely rose color. Finishes very cleanly, lightly sweet and fruity.
