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.

From last night. This was really good. At first, a little too sweet. But, as it warms up it mellows out and is a perfect sipper. An outstanding brew by FBC.

De 2018 versie. Nog veel maple, bourbon is een subtiel (geworden). Verder veel caramel, dus een zoet bier. Smaakt goed!

Wonderfully rich old ale, and the bourbon barrel aging is rich and succulent. Highly recommend, and a great deal at $4.00/beer. A little dried out, maybe, as it’s a 2018 variant.
