hopIQ found 10 beers with the same oak and malty character as Curmudgeon. Curmudgeon is an old ale of 9.8 percent brewed with molasses and a heavy focus on malt, then aged on oak. Molasses and dark treacle lead, followed by burnt caramel, toffee, fig and date, while the oak adds vanilla and a light woody dryness. The body is rich and the sweetness recalls a barley wine, yet the beer stays smooth for its strength. A regular release until 2018, it has returned as part of the Kosmicki Collection brewed for Michigan. Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
