Cherry Adam from the Wood is aged with locally grown black cherries in oak casks for 15 months. The fruit lends a sweet tartness to the finish, melding with the wood and adding a new dimension of complexity. The 2008 bottling celebrates 15 years of business for me and was aged in Bourbon and Sherry barrels. The 2009 bottling was aged exclusively in Elijah Craig Bourbon barrels.

Bottle @ Brouwers. Deep purple black appearance with no head. Very light fruit, mostly dark oaky, dark chocolate malty nose. Deep, sweet, cherry, big oaky, a little sweet fruity, dark barleywine-like texture and flavor. Cherry aftertaste. Very nice brew.

Bottle 2009 vintage. Clear dark brown with ruby highlights and no head. Mild plum, cherry, and oak aromas. This is freakin’ awesome with aged mellow bourbon, rich caramel malts, maraschino cherry, oak, and vanilla flavors. Just an explosion of flavor........

Bottle at Hair of the Dog tasting room, pours reddish dark brown with literally zero head - just a few bubbles. Aroma of cherry, wood barrels, liqueur - incredibly complex and rich, but not too sweet. Flavour of cherry, liqueur, with perfect sweetness that never cloys; the wood barrels reveal a slight smokiness toward the finish. Palate is incredibly rich and smooth. Absolutely wonderful beer.

2009 bottle shared by badnewsbeers. Deep murky brown body with orange/red highlights, no head. Sweet, tangy nose with cherry, brown sugar, caramel, and funky yeast, also some peach. Oxidized. Flat body, heavy on the tongue, with prominent booze, caramel, and cherry juice, sweet, but with an irritating lifeless viscosity. Some wood and cola in the somewhat bitter finish. Fair complexity, but stale despite its relatively recent origin. Disappointing.

12oz bottle. 2009 vintage. No carbonation, pours an oily, translucent, deep mahogany amber. Nose is sweet, caramel, malt, sugars, fruits. Flavor is sweet, malty, cherries fruits, caramel. When fresh, Adam has a light smokiness to it and I think the cherries pushed that all out. Full bodied, sticky finish. Sweet and a touch boozy.
