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.

At the Hair of the Dog mini-tasting. 2009. Served in a snifter. A 6 year old beer! Somewhat more of a nutty muddy brown pour compared to the regular Adam. A stronger barrel aroma as well. More heat, the taste is syrupy sweet cherry, sherry, maple syrup & oak. Tasty.

12 oz. bottle. 2012 vintage. Major dark brown with a thin ring of head around the snifter. Aroma smells like dirty gym socks that sat in a locker for 5 weeks. With large amounts of oak.
Thankfully the flavor is much better. Dark oak and bourbon traces with hints of cherries. Bourbon is very subtle. Burnt sugar and dark malts. Some vinous notes. Light warming alcohol sensation after after the sip. Body is medium leaning on full.
Another impressive brew from this brewery. The over 13% ABV is hidden nicely. Just a ton of oak through out this brew. Nice

2011 bottle shared thanks to Spdyfire83. Pours near black with a brown bubbly ring head. Aroma of vanilla, bourbon, dark fruits, blackberrys, wood and dark chocolate. Flavour is heavy sweet and over moderate bitter. Thick chewy mouthfeel like drinking molasses. Full bodied with soft carbonation.

2008 bottle thanks to Will. Pours a dark brown with small frothy beige head that diminishes to nothing. The aroma is strong wood, oak, and cherry skin. Medium mouthfeel with strong wood flavor, booze, roast, and light bitterness. Held up very nice.

Bottle 12oz at Hair of the Dog, Portland. Year 2012 made. Colour is deep reddish brown with very small white head. Aromas and flavours: Berries, cherries, hints of bourbon, sweetness and some wood. Not too sweet, very soft, warm and gentle. Probably getting much better after aging. UPDATE: Getting much much better when warming.

Bottle courtesy of rlgk. 2009 vintage. Pours very dark reddish brown with a small goldenish beige head that quickly dissipates without leaving much trace on the glass. Smell is a malt dream with caramel, charred wood, tart cherries, toffee, vanilla fudge, alcohol, raisins, dates, bourbon, coconut milk, sweet dark bread, minerals, hay and lemon zest. Taste is sweet, malty and fruity with caramel, sweet cherries, alcohol, charred wood, vanilla fudge, brown sugar, tar, raisins, prunes, dates, toffee, bourbon, moist soil, biscuits, lemon peal and hay. Mouthfeel is round, sticky sweet, boozy, tiny fruity tart and full bodied. Finish is sweet, bitter and malty with caramel, toffee, alcohol, charred wood, vanilla fudge, sweet cherries, hay, smoke, bourbon and dried dark fruits. Extremely good. Very much like how the cherries add to the malt backbone of this beer. And the barrel aging isn’t exactly bad either.
