Precious on my computer again...
I don't think I've ever tried straight Ole Curmudgeon, but I love Better half. (Hear that beergoddess?!)
Favorite from Founders is strong words. For that I'd have to say Mas Agave Lime, as I haven't rated too many others Cat 4.
But Better Half made me think I need to drink more old ale. So smooth and with some fun complexity.
The beer does sound good. Beergoddess and I are always looking for a dessert stout.
But it makes me want to get back to Vegas Le Cirque and get a Foie Gras wine-paired degustation menu after winning some ridiculous lucky bet to cover the dinner. Yes it's even better than winning a pie on DBR. I can wait though as I see Le Cirque Vegas is still closed
Devildeac IF you happen to come across Bourbon Barrel Aged Skipping Stone 2020 at Jackie O's that's the one I would choose (accfan says it's his favorite from there.) Good enough for me. Or any other Cat 3 beer from there or anywhere in Ohio or Wisconsin would work. I'm easy.
