Curmudgeon’s Better Half (2018)

Lenny Miceli

Bottled 5.25 years ago. Getting heavy Carmel. It's tasting like a Barley wine. Very nice too bad about the high ABV but it does hide it well still

Vivek Gupta

Aged 5 years… so good 😊

Chad

Brad Geier

Definitely lost a bit of the depth. Sweet, burnt caramel balanced with a dull bitter finish. Booze is present.

Marc T.

Almost sickeningly sweet but smooth and boozy at the same time.

Muggus last one apparently!

Kelly Baker

Sweet, boozy, malty goodness for a dreary Fall Sunday.

Andrey Z

Пять лет простоял, но для Old Alе, кажется, это не проблема. Кленовый сироп и патока, бочка помягче и вкус поокруглей. Офигенно, конечно, и жаль, что теперь такое фиг найдешь. Думал его уже и нет нигде давно, а его чекинят чуть ли не каждый день.

Matt Williford

Most of the bonus flavors are gone, but it’s almost like a decent normal Curmudgeon past its prime?

J Young

Still enjoying this one. Thx Cody J.

Jeff B.

Definitely boozy, even after five years. A nice winter treat.

5 years and 4 months old.... Still absolutely delicious....smooth as silk....no alcohol burn. Have one more of these... Probably let it sit on the shelf a couple more years.

Just right at 5 years.

Slight sweetness with a light and complex maple flavor. Very nice malty finish.

Dan DeMann

Fresh out of the cellar! Might have got to this one a bit late but still very tasty.

Mr Pink

Molasses, sweet but not too sweet. Caramel, rum, barrels. Yummy.

Sad that this is my last one. Has aged like a fine wine.

This one is a bit too boozy for me on this day.

I always do what the Bettet Half tells me. This is handily one of Founders best beers.

Jameson Paauwe

A great PICK, still delicious in year 5 #GoBlue

Brad Curtis

Pure fuel

Mark Larsen

This is a real kicker... doesn't seem to have aged at all... feels like it could age forever... rustic, funky and complex. Not for everyone but I can dig it.

Basement clean out

Always knew this would be a snow beer but damn! From 2018 and will still knock you down! Super bourbon smell and flavor, boozy, maple like sweetness. Man, KC or Buffalo could use one of these bad boys to warm up for wild card weekend!

Chris

Nate Caister

Few years on it did it some favors.

Chris Tripolino

Sweet, warming, rich, and good. Cedar, maple, vanilla notes. So well-balanced

Just One of the Dans

Still excellent

Daytona Tom

Love these and they age well!

Hurra!

Aging for 6 years and wow is it smooth! Slight sweetness from the maple bourbon barrels and notes of bourbon sweetness in the finish. Very nice old ale.

steven p

Bourbon is much stronger now, after 5 years. Maple sweetness is much less now. Much more balanced now. Head still ok.

james King

LCI--big boozy bourbon, slight maple sweetness
