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.

Bottle 33 cl. Pours a nutty brown with a slight haze and a tiny, off-white head. Toasted, biscuity malt aroma. Medium body, almost flast. Dusty malt accents and a slight tartness. No bitterness whatsoever. Seems old, tired and off although BB is 16 months from now. 010425

Bottle 33 cl. Pours an almost clear amber wit a small, rough, beige head. Dusty, roasty nose - suggesting more of a Brown Ale. Medium body, again roasty, notes of oranges and then a disturbing tartness. The licorice and residual sweetness as mentioned on the label is nowhere to be found. 180325

Quite herbal, and woody. Strong chili arom and flavour, but no heat. Subtle cocoa, and vanilla with a lot of char. Oily mouth feel, regular carb. Finish is highly bitter, and quite astringent. Hints of heat in the end with big licorice, herbs and strong earthiness.

Bottle at home. Aroma is dark malt, lots of creamy chocolate, roast, surprisingly strong dark fruits, jam, pleasant chili peppers, vanilla, some coffee, hint of liquorice. Flavour is about medium sweet with a little bitterness in the finish. Leaves a little chili burn in the throat. Lovely and complex Imperial Chili Stout.

Bottle at home. Aroma is sweet chocolate, roasted malt, dried dark fruits, prunes, liquorice, tobacco, some coffee and vanilla. Flavour is rather heavy sweetness with some roasty bitterness in the finish. Body is full. Heavy beer, but only slightly boozy. Very good.

From tap at Uiltje Bar, Haarlem. Aroma is lovely coffee, roasted malt, notes of oak, dark chocolate, mild caramel, sweetish chocolate cake. Flavour is above medium sweet and moderate to medium bitter. Body is full and rich. Great balance, amazing chocolate cake Stout. Beautiful.
