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.

at KØ2009 black beer. small head. aroma is peat, smoked, roasted charchoal, roasted grains. nice!, flavor is toffee, old licorice, slightly sourish/fruity. (8,4,6,3,14). bottle pitch dark, dark brown head. beer was a slow gusher, after pouring and sitting seemingly okay for a mine, beer foam kept spilling out of the bottle very slowly. Aroma is licorice, roasted malts, very well composed, thick, faint notes of soy sauce and salt, very faint smoked notes blend well in, and gives it even more character. Flavor is roasted malts, smoked notes in the end, thick mouthfeel, good bitterness, the smoke is charchoal, faint sweet herbal notes, but not in the way, some times the smoke is almost too much, but it do work out well. high bitterness overall.

Bottled (Beer Hunters, without best before mark). Clear ruby red color, medium-sized beige head. Yeasy-bready nose with berry-like (strawberry, red currant) notes. Liquerish palate. Licorice, grassy, a bit alcoholic flavor with some toffee also. Hoppy and alcoholic aftertaste. Quite barley wineish, ale-like bock.

Bottle. Pours dark brown with a light brown head. Aroma is of fruit, caramel and roasted malts. Flavor was of roasted malts and caramel. I felt like it was missing a bit of fruit in the flavor but not bad.
