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.

Pulling from the cellar tonight! This is from 2018, maple syrup bourbon barrel aged Old Curmudgeon. Superb with some age. This was a little hot when it was new.

Een heerlijk biertje om het weekend mee af te sluiten. Mooie balans van smaken en vooral de maple siroop met de bourbon is erg goed in balans.
