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.

Än mer vinös och det känns som att den börjar nå sin peak. Vilken fantastisk öl - god som ny och en spännande utveckling på hyllan! 😍

I'll take this over Bourbon County. Boozy barrel-aged stout goodness, but a little thinner and not quite as sweet. Found covered in dust in an out-of-the-way liquor store. A great find.

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

Aged 5+ yes. Nose says bready malt w/ hint of maple. Taste says hint my ass. Blast of maple followed by boozy burn. Loved this as 2009 Nemesis. Only downside is it thins out after the initial flavors. Maple lasts, but weirdly not much malt or burn in end.

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.

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