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.

Pretty boozy and sweet. There's some bitterness that I think is from the oak barrel aging. I'm not noticing maple flavor, though.

Old ale, maple syrup, oak, bourbon barrels and hints of vanilla. Smooth and rich flavors.

Cerveza de carácter maltoso con sabores a frutos secos, caramelo y melazas, con unas notas muy bien integradas a roble y bourbon. Tiene un color marrón rojizo oscuro y un aroma dulce a maltas, melazas y tostado. Es una cerveza potente y de cuerpo pleno.

28.09.19 Классический старый эль, улучшенный выдержкой в бурбонной бочке и добавлением кленового сиропа. Цвет красновато-коричневый. Запах ванили, дуба и бурбона. Вкус мягкий и сложный, но градус заметен, п/в спиртовое, солодово-ванильное.

Years ago I would have called this the best - more tasting experiences have tempered that but some time has not spoiled this at all. A solid one.
