the fillness from the malty types and notes from roasted barley like you know it from porters and stouts. The color is like walnut brown – deep and dark.
The bitterness is 135 IBU’s, and we have dry hopped with a lot of hops – 4 different types. The sweetness is from 5 different malts, taste of caramel from crystal malt and notes from the chocolate malt. Hophorn is very tasteful and we recommend tulipglass – it’s the way the beer should be served with it’s beige foam. Hophorn is perfect to cheese. The creamy cheeses, the oldest blue cheeses and the goatcheese. Try it to spicy food, but don’t forget to drink water. Then it all tastes much better. The temperature should be around 12-14 degrees. The beer is unfiltered so there might be some sediment in the bottle.

Mørk brun klar med fingerhøyt beige skum. Lukter korn, noe karamell og kaffe, men hovedsakelig en fruktig lukt mot sitrusskall og blomster. Fyldig. Medium bitter varig smak, noe pepperig og dyp fruktighet.

On draught at Beer O’Clock, Annecy. Light to mid-brown with a fair bit of tan head. Pine resin mixes with naked alcohol in the aroma. Starts sweet, the the back-of-the-throat bitterness kicks in. Very bitter finish. Oak chips and dark chocolate in the aftertaste, along with caramel and that intense pine. Yum.

(500ml bottle from Systembolaget) Pours very dark brown with a moderate lingering whitish head and lots of lace. Aroma of dark malts, chocolate, plum, blackberry, caramel, light smoke, hop resins grassy with light citrus hints. Palate has a full sweet malt core of caramel, dark chocolate, blackberry hitting at first, smoky roast malts and resinous hops building in the middle to a dry and astringent finish of fairly high bitterness. A little peppery herbal bite to the middle. Medium slick body with below-average carb and a slight hint of alcohol. Hides its IBUs pretty well at the start but they definitely punch through by the finish. Not super-bright hopping, maybe partly age but seems more hoppy imperial porter than many hop-forward black IPAs. Quite nice, in that context.

Tap at the Ørsted Ølbar, Copenhagen. Poured a clear dark brown with a frothy white head. The aroma is roasty, grassy hop. The flavour is moderate bitter with a spicy light pepper, woody hop bitter palate and a lingering bitter finish. Medium bodied with soft carbonation.

500ml bottle. Clear dark brown colour with red glimmer, late awakening, average to huge, thick, frothy to creamy, fairly lasting, and lacing, beige to tan head. Roasty dark malty aroma with citrusy and herbal hoppy overtones, lots of grapefruit, chocolately dark malty basis, hints of coffee, some orange, hints of resin and pine. Taste is moderately sweet, chocolately dark malty, hints of coffee, a touch of honey, fruity hoppy notes of orange, mandarine, a bitter hoppy and a bitter roasty dark malty touch, some resinous and piney hop. Fantastic beer, dangerously drinkable, well hidden alcohol.
