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.

August 2018 dated bottle. Sweet, rich, a little malty with a warm smooth finish of bourbon and maple notes. One of the best cellar aged brews I've had in a while.

Erg uniek, nog niet eerder zoiets geproefd. De bourbon siroop vaten hebben hun werk goed gedaan! Zowel het bier als de fles is goeie

2018 vintage. Hops age out quite a bit so sweetness takes over. Still good bit better younger.

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.
