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.

My last 2018.08.15. Aging into a Barleywine as the maple syrup has faded mostly away. Still an amazing brew. Drink now, no more aging required. Need this one back #foundersbrewing! This was best fresh to get the complexity & why it was highly rated early.

Sometimes you need a little help to make it through the work day. Smooth. Vanilla, oak, and molasses definitely comes through. Boozy. Bourbon is fairly muted. Oxidation is light, considering its age and that it was warm stored.

Dit is wel de betere helft. De beste helft is altijd de derde helft.

Full bodied with a huge caramel and oak flavor profile. Notes of dark fruit and fig. Has a warm slightly boozy finish. Cheers!🍺

Echt supernice. Donker moutig, volle gladde ale, West coast hops (I guess Centennial) en een btj maple. Uit 2018, maar echt super goed op smaak. 4.40
