Curmudgeon’s Better Half (2018)

Old Ale

What tames an old ale like Curmudgeon? The tender embrace of oak and sweet maple, that’s what. The result is Curmudgeon’s Better Half, a harmonious matrimony of our deceptively smooth old ale brewed with molasses and time spent aging in bourbon barrels that have previously held maple syrup. Because all counterparts should be sweet, rich and utterly delicious.

In my book, truly one of the best brews of all time! Molasses, maple syrup, and bourbon, what’s not like? To top it off, it’s been masterfully blended to perfection!

One of the last from the original stash. Four years did this gal some good. Plenty of brown sugar glory left resting under that aged grace.

Boozy and woody. Olde strong ale breakfast edition. Burns the tongue though, almost like Wasabi. Mouth taste like maple mouth wash afterwards.
