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.

Over two years of cellaring didn't push it to perfect, but it's still close.

I was going to give this a 4.75 before realizing I checked it in twice before with the same 4.75. Glad my grading (or Founders) is consistent.

It lost a lot of the maple but it’s great with a chocolate chip cookie.

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
