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.

Echt supernice. Donker moutig, volle gladde ale, West coast hops (I guess Centennial) en een btj maple. Uit 2018, maar echt super goed op smaak. 4.40

Excellent sipper. Notes of caramel, maple, burbon, malt and hops. Sweet on the pallette with plenty of complexity and a good abv kick that is pretty smooth

Smell of bourbon, maple and vanilla. Maple and bourbon taste. A tad too sweet, but a solid beer.

C’est très le sirop d’érable ! Extrême en tout, mais on a tout ce qui est annoncé. On reconnaît même le style « old ale » derrière le sucre, l’alcool, le sirop d’érable et le bourbon.

Aged ale mine bottled 17tSept18. Dark slightly brown with a gold head. Full on at first but smoothed as it breathed and heated.. oakey bourbon flavour up front and finish with a sweet maple taste that smoothed out the warming boozy hit of 12.7abv. Good be

Loving the maple, and the tobacco. What a treat on Halloween, as those couple of years sitting helped it drink better.
