Description
Hornbeer is a farmhouse brewery founded in the beginning of 2008 by Gunhild and Jorgen Fogh Rasmussen. The first brewery was very small, brewing only 300 liter batches. But end of July 2008 the brewery burnt down to the ground. Now Gunhild and Jorgen had to start again from scratch. In January 2009 the new brewery started operations. Nowadays the production is around 2000 hl/year. Hornbeer is well known for a very different assortment. Hornbeer´s philosophy is that the beers should be distinctive but still very drinkable.

500ml bottle [cellared for about seven years]. Jet black colour with minimally late awakening, small to average, thick, creamy, half-way lasting, moderately lacing, tan head. Sweet-ish and roasty, chocolately and caramel malty aroma, notes of dark caramel, treacle, dark chocolate, some liquorice, toffee, whiffs of burnt coffee, a touch of Bourbon, cautious nutty overtones. Taste is bitter, roasty dark malty, minimally caramel malty, notes of coffee, roast, dark chocolate, a touch of dark caramel, ashes, leather, liquorice, a touch of nutty bitterness as well (walnut), slightly grassy, bitter hoppy notes increase the already present bitterness; lingering, bitter roasty malty and bitter grassy hoppy finish. Oily to viscous texture, smooth, soft, slightly cloying, simultaneously dry palate, medium, surprisingly active, prickly carbonation. Very bitter due to a combonation of roasty malty and hoppy bitterness, slightly blurred flavours - sturdy Impy Stout.
