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.

World class brew on sale from 2018 keg at One Stop Brew Shop Rochester NY. Stop by and try it-you won’t leave without it. CBS,but based on an old ale rather than a stout

Molasses and maple syrup goes great w/ this almond filled danish. Have had this in the back of the beer fridge since 2018. AMAZING! Patience well served.
