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.

From last night. Smooth, almost creamy mouthfeel. Sweet with a slight bitter finish. RIP Tommy. You will be missed

Super sweet even after sitting for years, took me a few sips to get used to potent taste, reminds me of cheap high alcohol doppelbocks

Back of the fridge. Good way to end the football season. The bourbon is nice but it still has the sweetness of a barely-wine. Nicely done, just not my style.

In eerste instantie vol en zoet, maar een paar slokken verder vind ik ‘m redelijk moutig of is het de melasse? Geen idee 🤷🏽‍♂️ weinig ervaring mee! Maar voor de rest wel een genietbaar biertje...

En sødlig men tør duft. Masser af brød og mørke noter. Smagen er fyldig og rund. Lkoholen er afdempet og fadet sørger for en tør finish. Super lækker!

Has aged nicely, still boozy but the old ale shining through with some sweetness/caramel. Not shabby.

Agede in bourbon barrels that have previously held maple syrup, gives the beer a distinctive sweetness. Rich and delicious🍻

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.

Nooooot bad. Bought this fresh and it’s moved with me through like 3 moves and 2 states. Super light, a lot of malt, less sweet than I remember. Definitely not a dumper. I don’t hate it at all. Gets original rating though
