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.

Really love this one. All notes are well balanced and separate. Will probably need to stock up on this one.

This a new taste and I love it. Cherry is not over powering but the maple syrup is slightly too much.

Love the tart cherry on the front end with the bourbon as a nice finish. Not overly boozy flavor.

Get bourbon, maple, and cherry on the nose. Strong sweet cherry upfront followed by bourbon and sweet maple that briefly overtakes the cherry. Cherry spikes again at the end with a light tart quality and also get some light oak/vanilla.

The 2021 is very balanced with lots of cherry and brown sugar on the front end with nice barrel notes to finish it off
