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.

When you drink Curmudgeon’s Better Half, your tastes buds are sent on a flavor extravaganza through Michigan maple syrup and bourbon soaked earthy wood notes. Exceptional.

En af de øl, jeg kun tog én tår af. Jeg har smagt snaps, der smagte mindre af alkohol.

6/6 perfect for dessert and perfect flight size. Tasty, REALLY sweet, similar to the bourbon barrel stouts but not as heavy! Wintertime this would be awesome
