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.

2018 vintage. Well it’s seems like this vintage was in its prime in 2020. Now it’s just fusel barrel muddy bourbon notes that hint at apple flavors. Interesting but dropping the rating .50 from 3 years ago.

I don't think this is the proper glassware for a 12.5% beer but I'm not going to argue with the bartender

One last brew for the evening. Rich, inky molasses notes, dark sugar and light caramel, just stellar. Founders is my kryptonite,.for good cause.

Excellent and no problem with age, it was most likely a 2014.

Sweet medium malts. Well hidden booze. Mostly flat as this is probably over 10 years old. No oxidation. Tasty

Det her er slet ikke dumt. Helt honning like. Små vaniljenoter. Rund, lidt sprittet, men det er okay.
