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.

Aroma of faint cherry with obvious notes of bourbon and oak. Taste is really nice with noticeable amounts of cherry, just the right amount of maple syrup, and finishes with hints of bourbon, vanilla, Earth, and damp oak. Very well done!

Fruity. But the maple barrel is great. My mouth is conflicted.

Bourbon with a dash cherry. The more you drink the more cherry you taste…

Fantastic, lambic like depth. Maple adds a nice sweetness that is not cloying.

Pleasantly surprised. There is tangy cherry (not tart or sour, a plus), vanilla from the bourbon, & some maple. All flavors are pleasantly balanced and none are overwhelming. Nice.

Was really hoping this was a stout. Nice cherry flavor, but a stout would give more depth.

Too sweet. Love the idea, but there is too much maple/cherry sweetness. Needs a balance
