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.

For 12.7% its real smooth, bourbon/boozy taste with molasses. Maybe not the best weather to drink. Would be great in winter.
