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.

Спиртуозный аромат, во вкусе сладость ячменя, кураги и чутка карамели. Дико вкусно, но для меня слишком сладко.

Strong ABV. Distinct bourbon flavor. Maple comes thru. Takes a minute to acquire taste, but gets smoother and tastier as it goes. Definitely starts syrupy, thins as the palate adjusts.

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.

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
