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.

A little sweetness on the front, and has a bitter taste and n the back.

Very disappointing. Sorta a not good old ale with a hint of mint for some reason?

Syrupy sweetness is balanced by thinning booze. Very rich any which way you cut it. Equal parts maple syrup and bourbon barrel.

A smooth ale but a bit too syrupy sweet for me. (Logical sense it's brewed with molasses and aged in maple syrup barrels.) Has a little bite of bitterness on the end but it's not enough to cut the warm sugaryness.
