Commercial Description:
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.

Bottled. A pitch black with a lazing thin tan head. The aroma has strong notes of roasted malt and cherries as well as some alcohol. The flavor is strong with notes of alcohol roasted malt, wood, cherries, and some soy sauce, leading to a dry alcoholic finish. Thanks Papsoe for sharing.

Bottle@Fonefan. Deep ambery brown colour, tiny brigeish brown head. Aroma is lots of wood, some berries as well as mild raisins. Flavour is leather, wood, some sour wooden notes as well as alcohol. Aftertaste is sour wood and also some slight cherries. Quite wellbalanced and nice big brew. Maybe a bit too big on the "barrelwood".

Vintage 2008
Dark brown color, almost black. Mature malt and caramel aroma, oxidised, deep, characteristic of Hair of the Dog, with very light fruitness and light smoke touch too; woody. Good body strength, rich caramel and chocolate flavor, quite sweet; a light sourness (from the cherries?) is a good complement for it, and the very light vanilla too. The final is a bit more astringent, very dry in the end. Maybe not a beer for everyday, but interesting anyway, and surely complex.
