[...] cur·mud·geon Pronunciation: kər-ˈmə-jən Etymology: origin unknown Date: 1568 1. archaic : miser2: a crusty, ill-tempered, and usually old man. This Curmudgeon may as well be Poseidon himself because this potent brew brings the full wrath of the seven seas in each and every sip. It starts with a powerful, malty smell that reminds me of 10 year old Balvenie with a hint of strong sea air. It pours a deep, opaque red with nearly no head. The first taste was an eye opener. Again, I got a taste that reminded me of a salty, seaworthy, single malt scotch with a stern, burning in the back of my throat. At 9.3% ABV it is no wonder. There is a sweet, dried date flavor that is delicious. This is a scotch drinker’s ale and a good one at that. This is serious ale for serious drinkers.
