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.

Still a sweet higher ABV Old Ale! So, yes, the stash is still getting dipped into even after the snow is gone. Well at least it’s gone in Texas...wink

Been awhile since I had anything from Founders. This is quite good. Boozy but in a good way. Caramel with a slightly woodsy undertone.

Den här tror jag vann på att få ligga till sig ett par år. Fortfarande ganska mäktig, men smakerna känns mer integrerade. Lönnsirap/bourbon/malt vävs snyggt ihop. Alkoholen väl dold.

Delicious deep notes of molasses and maple syrup, with a nice oak finish from the barrel.

Аромат лёгкого цветочного вискарика. Вкус тоже ближе к цветочным крепышам. Сироп, виски, ром, дрова, солод. Душевно настоялось. Олд довели до уровня барлика или бельгийского стронга.
