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 at home. Near black with a tiny off-white head. Strong, complex aroma, with cherries, roasted notes of chocolate and licorice, vanilla and caramel, and all held together by vineous alcohol character of bourbon and dessert wine. Sweet and complex flavour of dessert wine, cherry and aged barleyw wine. As good as any Adam from the wood. World class.

Bottle at tasting. Brown dark red pour. Delicious full aroma of cherry, boozy bourbon vanilla and cream. Full rich flavor of red fruit, vanilla, bourbon booze, creamy cherry and some smokey oak. Really long complex finish, thick sticky mouthfeel. Awesome.

Should I thank douglass for this WTF strong ale? I think it will destroy me by the time this session induced bottle will be complete. This is one big mah fah beer from the start. Pop the lid yields very little co2 pressure. Big black flat pour, so still, yet still alarming. Volatile uncivilized barley wine aroma, do not strike a match. Nulls yer olfactories. Doug lured me in by sending me many good tart beers and then I thot I was getting the same gentle well behave Flemish sour with this. Now I loook and se I am #501 for this freaking strong kick in the gonads beer, heheh. This brew is so flat and strong armed, that I’m worried I’ll get thru the night! I’ll be dancing in the dark after just 2 of these fine examples of overly sexed and overly alky strong american brews. Kicking and screaming this goes down the gullet, warming as it goes from top to bottom. Holly mackerel. Thick rich alky sensations kicking my freakin ass. Again, do not light a ligher, will be an ethy explosion, whew. Cannot accept, this is one kick ass brew, thick and flat, not a beer fer sure. Thick viscous over the top mind numbing beer, if it is, experience. So thick and flat, like used olde 50W harley oil mixed with ever clear and STP. Fermented chicken, manure and wheat BS mixed with cherry freakin stuff. I know ot what to think about this happy bullshit.

Dark brown pour, almost black. No head or lacing or any type of carbonation visible, no matter how vigorously you pour. The smell is complex and beautiful: roasted walnuts, chestnuts, tons of cocoa, macerated cherries, maple syrup, sherry, bourbon barrel, vanilla and oak, figs. The taste - amazing. A boatload of cherries up front, figs, walnuts, sherry and vanilla oak, bourbon, and underneath it all a nice, hot spiciness. Smooth and creamy texture, but not the kind that chokes, with a warm and cherry-intense aftertaste.
