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 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

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

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!

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

Another good thing about Frootwood is that my wife hates it, so now I have a whole case to myself.

Mmmmm. A hint of maple, but not too sugary. Just the right amount of cherry and sweetness. Would drink again.

Strong cherry flavor with a smooth bourbon barrel aftertaste. Rated up for being exactly as described.

Smells like indoor pool @ lake lawn.Very bourbon taste, but not terrible.Following Rubaeus & Blushing Monk; Interesting.Next time go reverse order.Not getting much maple, just bourbon fruit.Don't love it, but don't hate it. 1% away from being too strong.

FUCK. ME. RUNNING. Dude, this is SUPER sweet and that cherry flavour is ON POINT. Not as dark as what I would normally gravitate towards, but that flavour is SO GOOD, I'm not going to demerit it a point.
