With this Hophorn, we try to combine the best from more beerstyles. hop bitterness and aroma from the IPA’s,
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.

Bottle sample at a tasting at Stas’s place. Thanks Stas. Brown with red hues. Aroma of roast and some "green" and piney hops. Roasty flavor with some chocolate and nice bitter hops, somewhat piney. Medium-bodied.

From tap at Pikkulintu. Pours brown, not so clear and the head is not very large. Doesn’t really look like a black IPA but it probably is. Aroma is sweet and has some roast in it. Kind of like baking bread and then burning something up. Liquorice. Taste is sweetish, chocolate mocha. Hop are giving some unique character, drying the mouth with bitterness at the same time while sweetness is also there. Really nice actually, fresh and sweet and bitter at the same time. Good brew, very enjoyable.

500mL bottle, pours black with a small beige / tan head. Nose brings out dark fruits, medium roasted malt, and a decent piney hop kick. Flavour is quite strong, bringing out loads of piney hops upfront, balanced by a robust roasted malt and dark fruit backbone. Nothing restrained about this - a big wallop of hops, but also a big ass malt component. The malt component outshines the hops after a while. Could be balanced better, but this is still very nice.

Keg at Craft Clerko. It pours near black with a medium beige head. The nose is bitter-sweet roast, dirt, cocoa, pine needles and some citrus peel. The taste is bitter, roasty, pine, toast, dirt, grapefruit peel, sherbet, slight soapiness, charred wood and some alcohol with a dry, finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Pretty punchy cda action. Mighty decent.

Keg at CBC Islington - London. Pours clearish, red-brown with a creamy, tan head. The nose holds lots of piney hops, some boozy fruits, dark bread, perfume. Medium sweet flavor with steady bitterness, burnt pine, warm alcohol, dark berries. Medium to full bodied with average carbonation. Warming alcohol on the finish with oily hops, torched wood, dirt, grapefrut rind, charred pine. Very good.

(Bottle) Dark brown colour, almost black, with lasting beige head. Malty, roasted nose with notes of dark bread, chocolate, roasted malt and pine needles. Malty, roasted taste with dark bread, roasted malt, chocolate, grapefruit, hints of mint and a generous resinous, piney bitterness in the finish. Almost full body, with a slight sweetness. Considering its fairly powerful bitterness and alcohol level, it feels quite well balanced and drinkable. Very nice.

A colablack beer with an almost medium and beautiful, beige head. The nose is balanced, roastiness and some chocolate, grapefruits and fresh pine forest. Taste is also balanced, roastiness, coffee and some liquirice, a medium bitterness is grapefruity and slightly piney. Medium bodied, nice and smooth to drink. The simple beer, but that’s not bothering, the great balance is the best part of this black IPA, a very good beer.
