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.

Been awhile without this, I wonder why? Old Ale is the emperor of all beer styles. And this particular Old Ale is & always has been amazingly deep & delicious. Coconut, whiskey, raisins, burnt sugar... Old Man’s Slut (as we call it) is a Legend✨🦉👊

De bourbon en maple syrup zitten heerlijk in balans waardoor je een zacht en zoet bier drinkt. Ook krijg je er een warm gevoel van. Puur genieten!

Still amazing. Maple malty boozy. 1 left on the shelf. 2018. Will be looking for more soon. Barrel aged would be amazing

Proeverij 4/4: Traditioneel volgt er weer een merkwaardig vierde bier. Old Ale stond nog niet op de lijst. Nu wel. Heerlijk stroperig toetje. Wel sterk spul!

From last night. This was really good. At first, a little too sweet. But, as it warms up it mellows out and is a perfect sipper. An outstanding brew by FBC.
