  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.
