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.

Flot skænket, og dejligt varmende alkohol på en råkold dag! Molasse og ahornfornemmelse er tydelig, men med moderat sødlighed. Fint bud!

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

What a beer! Rich and smooooth. Sweet and flavorful. Strong, but subtle. There’s alcohol here, but it’s subtle. Helluva beer.

Decided to have this brew with leftover double stacks with maple syrup and hashbrowns. Wow...6/28/2018 brew at 12.7% in maple bourban barrels... sweet, smooth and packed with a punch. Yowza but so good

Wow! Delicious maple, vanilla, and caramel notes, less raisin malt, more maple barrel notes. This elixir is wonderful.

Delicious, like drinking candy. But probably too rich (and 12% abv) to drink more than one.
