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.

Greg S. Came and tried this after our convo, definitely a warmer and tasted like.. boozy raisins? This was smooth tho, very smooth with a nice thickness. Can see this growing on me 🍻

Got the beta request button tonight and I found out I have a 99/100 score. Things are looking good so I had to open something special to commemorate. Can't open this without checking in either. My last bottle of an amazing beer that I'll miss.

I feel like the maple may have faded a little with time, but it’s been a while. Still yummy, boozy soppy old ale.
