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.

3 years old now and I think at its peak. Was too sweet fresh, and now it's finally balanced. Bourbon is there still. Great beer.
