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.

On tap at Christian Firtal, Odense. Cloudy, very dark brown with a lasting tan head. Strong hoppy aroma of grapefruit and orange peel, with some pine needles and a hint of alcohol. Sweet malty, almost sugary flavour with lots of fruity citrus hops and a very bitter finish.

Bottled at Stockholm Beer Festival. Hazy nut brown, creamy head. Fantastic grapefruity nose. Mid sweet with medium body and clean mouthfeel,. Lots of citric hops supported by solid, albeit clean malt. Quite tasty.

On tap. Pours a cloudy opaque dark brown with a dense light brown head with good retention. Roast and citrusy hops in the nose - as expected. Full-bodied with some hard roasted malt, sweet vanilla and licorice, fruit and a little ashes. Has an edge of yeast and phenols. Surprisingly subdued bitterness - no way this is 135 IBUs! 280910

Draft. An unclear dark red with a lazing tan head. The aroma has notes of hops, citrus, and chocolate. The flavor is sweet with notes of hops, citrus, caramel, malt, and a bit of chocolate, leading to a quite bitter finish.
