Curmudgeon Old Ale

Old / Stock Ale

Brewed with molasses and a focus on malts, then oak-aged. The result is a strong, rich delight that’s deceptively smooth and drinkable.

Insanely sweet, yet well supported and not cloying. Lots of oak tannins and just a kiss of hops in the finish. As always, this is so good!

Ooooof just as good as I remember. Maybe a little bit more mellow, considering this was a cellar beer. Bottled in 2015. OOOOOOOFBABY.

A 2015 in 2022! Over 7 yrs! I like this better the 2nd time. Tastes like toasted multi grain bread with a few drops of molasses. I'm noticing some oakiness/woody notes along with vanilla. I have some sediment in the bottle that will not come out. Bummer.

Super smooth and sweet, tons of vanilla. A great supper would be tough to crush. Probably great with a savory meal with a lot of flavors

4th check-in. Edition 2018. Rich, malty, bourbon-ish. Moldy, but in good shape. The caramelly/bourbon combo gives so much ‘old beer’-pleasure. 1st attempt on tap 🙏🏼😍 (➕1.0❗️)
