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.
Bottled in late 2016.

Tap@Taphouse, Copenhagen - orange Amber pour with white head. Aroma and taste is prominent cherry fruity, with some light nutty notes, some sweet caramel and treacle backing, wooden notes, tart cherry fruity finish. --- Beer merged from original tick of Frootwood (2016) on 26 Mar 2025 at 06:32 - Score: 7.

Interesting. Not sure if it's really my thing, but fun for sure. Very sweet, some bourbon, lots of (synthetic) cherry. Very easy drinking.
