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.

9/4/9/5/19 Nicht besser und nicht schlechter als vor einem Jahr. Aber es tut sich was … weniger Honigfeels, mehr pfeffrige Kupferhops. Die beinhalten fast selbstverständlich einen unnachgiebigen Rubinrotbiss👹 … Strange … nach so vielen Jahren. Geil ;)

Utviklet seg godt. Nærmer seg en barleywine med innslag av appelsinmarmelade, nøtter og karamellisert malt.

Still holding up great for 4 years old! The Maple has fallen off a bit, but still sweet, and lots of molasses flavor coming out!
