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.

Pretty boozy and sweet. There's some bitterness that I think is from the oak barrel aging. I'm not noticing maple flavor, though.

Amazing! Smooth with all the flavors as advertised. Maple syrup, and barrel up front, with the molasses on the back. So glad I picked this up.

2018 vintage. Hops age out quite a bit so sweetness takes over. Still good bit better younger.
