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.

Copperish brown color with generous lacing. Aroma is definite boozy maple syrup similar to bourbon barrels. 🤪 Sweet & surprisingly good.

This one is fantastic. The molasses and maple flavor is the perfect amount of sweetness and the bourbon finish is on point. Yum

Reminds me of curieux but with tons of maple syrup and molasses. Haven’t had a barrel aged beer from a major brewery in a long time and this is GOOD.

Still stoked on this beer. Cold it tastes like cognac dates or dried cherries. Tempered is a whole different story

Big malty beer with bourbon and maple syrup flavours - rich, luscious and satisfying drop. Feels like big warm hug on the inside.
