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.

From tap. Pours hazy brown with a huge and dense tan head. Aroma is smooth caramel malty and with a solid hops profile of grapefruity and slight peachy notes. Smooth hoppy flavoured with citrusy and grapefruity notes come well through here as well. Smooth and solid malty base flavour providing both body and flavour. Lingering fruity hoppy into the far finish.

Bottled @ EBF 2008. Black body with a small beige head. Very pleasant aroma of roasted malt and a hint of raisins. Flavor is sweet, dark roasted malt, coffee, chocolate and just a little hint of room/alcohol. A big beer with an impressive balance, no flavors are dominating, everything is in harmony.

Bottled @ EBF 2008. Hazy, amber body with a big off-white head. Aroma of sweetish malt and alcohol. Flavor is sweet malt, caramel, dry fruit, hops and alcohol. Pretty descent and balanced. Easy to drink, dangerously hiding the alcohol and a great storage potential assume.
