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.

It's an old bottle, so some of the maple faded, but it's still plenty molasses-y and malty af

DDM au 13/08/19. Old but gold. Rien que la mousse suinte le Bourbon. Nez boisé, raisin sec, Bourbon. Même constat aromatique en bouche. C'est incroyablement bon, rond mais pas trop, riche, d'une justesse indécente, d'un équilibre fou. C'est juste magique.

Oh my Fing God! This is my favorite beer and haven’t had it in the US for 3-4 years. Found it in Holland. What a gem of a bar this one.
