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.

This is good. Stronger alcohol content but not overpowering. Sweet maple flavors pushes it over the finish line.

Great maple on the nose, Caramely warmth with some notes of brown sugar and a subtle dryness at the end. Astoundingly smooth for being almost 13%. One pint will get you there if you're not careful. Reminds me of a little beer I had called Rochefort 10.

Over two years of cellaring didn't push it to perfect, but it's still close.
