Curmudgeon's Better Half Tolvanen

Aged 5 years. This beer takes the aging really well. Really nice marriage of old ale, sweetness of maple syrup and bourbon barrels. Molasses has left some dried plums in the flavor. At times you get a feeling of belgian dark and rich monastery beers.

Limbo Raspberry Tolvanen

Really nice light and refreshing sourish raspberry beer. One of the best raspberry beers I have had due to natural raspberry flavor. Another great Mikkeller nonalcoholic beer that doesn't taste like general nonalcoholic beers.
