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.

Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were grass, malts, caramel and bitterness. Aftertaste was sweet, malty and bitter. A too sweet malty brew with good looks and pleasant aroma.

Bottle 50 cl. Pours a cloudy, deep reddish amber with a creamy and lacing off-white head. Sweet, malty nose with some brown sugar. Rich, sweet, malty body, some aromatic hops but also a slight, phenollic edge. Some late bittering hops. Odd, lurking tartness. 300420

Well stored bottle. Pitch black body with a dense beige head. Aroma has dark malt and alcohol. Taste is hard roasted, dark malt, some coffee and dark chocolate, boozy. Fine body and strong in aftertaste. Without doubt some qualities here, but just too much alcohol to make it elegant, after several years in my cellar it still feels a bit raw and boozy.

Tap @ Pikkulintu Ruttopuisto, Helsinki. Poured pretty much black in color with a tan had. Loads and loads of sweet chocolate in aroma and flavor. Caramel, sweetness, cocoa and chocolate. Way too sweet for me.
