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.

Kermaisen pehmeä, toffeemaltaisen bourboninen/tynnyriä, vaahterasiirappia, miellyttävä jälkimaku.

2018. It’s my last one, and it’s held up really well. That maple and bourbon, with the slight sweet tartness from the molasses-Mmmmmmmm!

Great overall stout. Never disappoints. Precious 5 star was when this was very limited supply in 2017
