Member Notes:
Medium, bright orange in color with sediment in suspension, this old ale smells sweet and caramelized. English yeast blends well with its alcohol and malty sweetness in the nose, giving it a chewy, delicious nose. It's just as chewy in the mouth, soft and smooth, breast, with a flavor of slightly burnt malts and a touch of oak. It has a great finish that's light on alcohol, but still sligtly stiff. 7- 8 4 7-8 4 16 A - Noss
Club & Brewer Notes:
This Old Ale conjures up thoughts of classic sea fairing ports, there local pubs and the weathered fisherman that frequent them. In traditional style Curmudgeon is brewed with an intense focus on the malt bill creating a very strong, rich, malty characteristic and a sweetness indicative of its cousin the barleywine. We are especially proud of the balance in this beer making it deceptively smooth and drinkable at 9.8% alcohol by volume.
