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.

Would have thought this was a minty coconut-ish kind of beer not a molasses syrup beer. Odd taste. Not bad just not what the label says

Long way to go for Founders but like fantasy draft, gotta pick the best player left on the board.

A little sweetness on the front, and has a bitter taste and n the back.

Very disappointing. Sorta a not good old ale with a hint of mint for some reason?

Syrupy sweetness is balanced by thinning booze. Very rich any which way you cut it. Equal parts maple syrup and bourbon barrel.
