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.

Another beer that I can't believe went unlogged. I first had some back in 2018, and recall the maple sweetness being more pronounced. This bottle seems hotter and harsher than I recall. I think it would benefit from some aging.

Dit is wel de moeite. Ik proef met name vanilleachtige karamel en het vat. De alcohol is nog redelijk gemaskeerd voor het percentage.

I guess I didn’t check this in years ago when it was new. I remember it being way too sweet. It has mellowed a lot and is very drinkable now.
