Beer Tasting: General Lafayette Olde Curmudgeon
Olde Curmudgeon Old Stock Ale is brewed by General Lafayette Inn & Brewery. This was poured from a growler Bryan shared with me.
Have you tasted this beer? Let us know what you think. As a suggestion, try to keep the review as brief as possible for each of the following: appearance; smell; taste; mouthfeel; and drinkability.
Appearance
Adam: murky brown, no ring, not much head (remember its a growler)
Bryan: pours like muddy water; thick consistency; barely any head
Smell
Adam: smoky, but, that's all
Bryan: good roasty aroma with a bit smoke; though, nothing overpowering
Taste
Adam: taste better paired with smoked meat, slightly bitter
Bryan: much smokier than the nose implied
Mouthfeel
Adam: on the thinner side for an old stock ale
Bryan: medium-body; substantial enough malt presence to hold up to cheeses and spicy food
Drinkability
Adam: needs a little refinement, probably better with food
Bryan: yes, smokiness is interesting, but not all night
Seconds?
Adam: probably not
Bryan: Just one more, then I'm moving on
