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.

Here’s a beer with the thickness of cherry nectar, with that sweetness enhanced by vanilla, maple, & bourbon, & cut by the distinct woody taste of the barrels. Complex layers of flavor, and 8% ABV to help you think about that.

Really excellent! But still missing a touch of something. More maple? More vanilla? Experimentation may be called for!

Clear copper color. Very smooth and blended cherry and maple flavors. Barrel ages flavor is awesome. Rich finish.

Great cherry 🍒 body, sweet, but the maple is not maple-y 🍁 (which I was afraid of). Mad Elf vibes, wouldn’t mind a side by side with one. Agree with Samuel G., it’s more like a cocktail 🥃

Nice sweet cherry beer. The tartness of the cherries is tempered by the maple syrup, and there's a nice woody quality from the barrels. 4.5/5

Super unique. Cherry forward followed by lulled out bourbon and vanilla. Good carbonation. Excellent and unique. Cherry lasts a long time while the mellow vanilla fades away. Delicious. Complex, enjoyable. No maple but maybe a lil sweet from it

What a well-composed brew here! Immediate cherry and vanilla with a smooth bourbon finish. Unique, inventive, and downright delicious!

Light and thin for barrel aged, very unique. The crisp cherry ale works well with the oak, slightly dry. The maple and bourbon are subtle and make this refreshing and crushable considering the abv. BOD 11/10/21
