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.

If you want less maple and sweetness open this now.

Konstigt. Anna fick hur många årgångar som helst som förslag på streckkoden, jag fick bara en - rätt årgång! 😀

Quite boozy with little sweetness. I previously rated 4.25. Possibly this bottle was not kept properly at the store or else it just has not aged well. No rating this time.

A few years have done this beer very well. Nice sweetness from the maple with just a touch of boozy heat from the bourbon barrels. The perfect sipping beer on a cool winter night.

I don't know it's DNA, but it tastes racist. Finishing off old bottles in the cellar.
