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.

Fruity and sweet with a weird bitter aftertaste. Interesting and not what I expected but still good. Solid beer

#badgewhoring bourbon/vanilla scent, sweet cherry and vanilla taste, and an odd dry woody taste on the palate. Meh.

Echt een heel lekker brouwsel. Zoet, maar net niet té, want de barrels zorgen voor tegenwicht. Heel knap.

Think it was a little too heavy on the cherry and had a slight flavor of cough syrup in my mind. Could have been worse.

It’s been almost a year and this has held up well. Still a favorite BA Series. The malty sweet funk is the key along with just a hint of barrel. Can’t wait for the next batch!!🍻😎

Big! Cherries wrapped in a warm blanket of velvety bourbon vanilla. Then packed in a meerschaum with some tobacco and enjoyed. Maybe that’s over the top. Anywho, great collision of compatible flavors coming together to power a unique brew. Thanks Chris.

Tons of tart cherries. Aging diminished the maple and BBA.

Final bottle from my barrel-aged cellar. Exquisite brew here, cherry ale aged in vanilla-oak bourbon barrels. Complex, sweet, tart and warming. Beautiful!

Not big on fruit beers, but this one hits right. Love the way the maple takes the cherry tartness.

This has to be my favorite so far. I’ve had numerous 4 packs when they were available. I will truly miss this beer when my stockpile is depleted!
