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.

Making room to age some other stuff and figured I’d try this since it’s been about three years since the last one. It’s still too sweet but the bourbon and oak are coming together fairly well. Vanilla is still hanging around too somehow.

Excellent. Boozy, full-bodied, strong maple notes... Barrel conditioning duly noted.

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

Nr 7. Bäst före: 13/08/19. Inköpt nov 2018, senast drucken nov 2020. Söt malt, toffee, lite bourbon och fat. Rejäl sötma, maltig, karamell, lite bourbon och fat i slutet. Detta är nog den bästa från Founders, nånsin! Sista flaskan… 4,4

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.
