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.

Outstanding! Light cherry notes with bourbon and maple syrup. Easy drinking without being overly boozy. Warming and a great beer for fall.

This beers description is 100% accurate and even though I’m not A huge Cherry fan, this is definitely a new favorite of mine. Hoping they bring out as a year round release

Do they still make this? I've saved this 2017 bottle for years and I love this beer. I get 0 tartness, but real good cherry flavor with a nice barrel finish. I might need to road trip if this is around elsewhere.

Cherry flavor forward with a hint of tartness. Maple imparts a velvety smoothness.

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

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.

Holy shit it’s back! I loooove this beer and haven’t had it in so long. Cherry with an oaky and slightly sweet maple taste. Just fantastic. Raising that rating.

Fruity nose. Smooth mouth feel. Slight sweetness with obvious but not overpowering bourbon. Perfect ABV.

Damn. Good. Brew. Maple & Bourbon on the nose. Grab that first sip and cherry slaps the hell out of you then suddenly it's calm, warming. Bourbon on the back end. Absolutely fantastic.

The cherry and maple are a nice way to buffer the horsepower under the bottle cap. 8% that tastes like 2%.

Perfect beer for my taste. Cherry, bourbon and maple are all there, with cherry in a slight lead. Reminds me somewhat of drinking a Manhattan. Need to grab more of these before they're gone.

It tastes like cherries! The bourbon barrel/maple syrup barrel seems to have rounded out any harsh flavors I usually associate with a bourbon barrel aged beer, I can’t taste a bite from the alcohol in the barrel at all. There’s only a whisp of maple syrup
