Curmudgeon's Better Half

Old Ale

Curmudgeon is an old ale brewed with molasses and aged on oak; it becomes Better Half after aging—for 254 days—in bourbon barrels that have more recently been aging Michigan maple syrup. As a result, Curmudgeon’s Better Half is a bit sweeter than her miserly counterpart.

Wel zoetig, maar zeer prima te doen. Glijdt te makkelijk naar binnen voor 12,7%. Je voelt de alcohol wel in je keel en je maag.

Troebel kastanje met romige vieswitte kop. Melasse in de neus. Dik plakkerig mondgevoel. Volzoete body met een bitter zoete (rozijntjes) afdronk.

Sweet medium malts. Well hidden booze. Mostly flat as this is probably over 10 years old. No oxidation. Tasty

2018 vintage. Well it’s seems like this vintage was in its prime in 2020. Now it’s just fusel barrel muddy bourbon notes that hint at apple flavors. Interesting but dropping the rating .50 from 3 years ago.

Aging long term doesn’t help this much, as it’s gained just a hint of mint flavor on the top of the old ale. Still not bad though. 2018 vintage

[MARK] I expected something sweet and pastry from the better half of a curmudgeon. But she's much more mellow and approachable.

Incredible sweetness and a great woody flavor. The aging is great and it makes it so smooth and candy like. Never know how high the abv is unless you look....or drink the bottle yourself lol.

Stay at Home- Day 136. Nice sweetness from the maple syrup. It's mellowed for a year so it's nice and smooth.
