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.

A wonderful progression of flavors: cherry 🍒 and bourbon 🥃 up front followed seamlessly by a maple syrup vanilla finish !!

Frootwood is gooood. A friend described it perfectly saying it “drinks like a grown up Dr. Pepper”. They are eerily similar. This is so delicious with layers of flavors to be enjoyed. Not too sweet and not too tart. Thank you Paul and Lisa!

Pleasantly surprised, but I ran out of beer trying to figure it out. Very complex. Not what I expected of a fruit beer

very tasty, maple cherry flavor. Side by side, straight up and Black & Tan. Bill has the right idea here, The nitro KBS addition made it like a chocolate covered cherry

You do get very subtle maple finish. Cherries are definitely muted. Dig it. This would be really good soured up

Fascinating; reveals new layers in each sip. Tart sweetness plays against oak and deep syrup. Almost like a cocktail.
