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.

Too boozy, slight maple taste. Not an amazing after taste.

Unpleasant. I like bourbon, but this...no. It hits your tongue and for half a second seems good, but then it's unpleasant in your mouth. 😔

I guess I didn’t check this in years ago when it was new. I remember it being way too sweet. It has mellowed a lot and is very drinkable now.

This is an impressive old ale! Smoky caramel. Woody tones. Sweet maple. Barrel aged bourbon. Nice one!

Som at drikke whisky med brus. Fyldig i munden og ganske tør finish. Ale noter men klassen fås fra fadlagring og sirup

Bottle from 2018 - A bit sweeter than I’d prefer, but the whisky flavor complements the maple and molasses well.

Very boozy. But smooth. The maple syrup comes through in the aroma. Maybe lends a little sweetness that smoothes the edges of the booziness.
