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.

Deep, coppery color. I think the aroma is of molasses, perhaps carmelized sugar. Rich mouthfeel. Peculiar flavor. Caramel aftertaste. Big alcohol.

Oh my. Very excellent old ale. Boozy, vanilla and caramel notes in a semi-sweet viscous beer.

This was a random chosen beer in a 6 pack bought from a restaurant. 2018 Better Half is still strong and smooth

45 - Wow… Boozy molasses and maple syrup! Very sweet. Lots of flavor! Yes, I agree with Clay, where are the pancakes and the French toast!?

One I forgot to add from last night. I think I like CBS a bit more than this one now. But I’m sure as heck glad I’ve got this in spades!

Amazing...everything I want and nothing I don’t. A bit too rich at times in the flavor profile.
