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.

Ромовая сладость в аромате и вкусе. Заспиртованные вяленные фрукты, бочка, ухх

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.

My actual first time trying this. Very well balanced. I don’t know if it is the age or if it is normal. Not super sweet and not boozy. I like this. The problem is that it’s the only one I have. I guess there will be a tear in my beer.

Her får du er spark i løgene. De 12,7% samt lagringen på whiskyfade gør at alkoholen virkelig træder frem. Man har prøvet at balancere det med ahorn sirup og melasse. Men det er som om en Ale ikke helt kan bære det - den bliver for stærk #øllefantlogen

Almost no bite, and just a very rich maple and molasses sweetness. leaves a warm finish. It was pretty sweet when fresh as I recall, but maybe a bit more and smoother now. the alcohol balances the sweetness well.
