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.

Definitely buzzy on the nose and the front end of the beer. Some sweetness mid to finish but still okay.

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
