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.

Bottled at European Beer Festival, Copenhagen. Black as night, no head. Aroma of rum and tar. Coffee in syrup with a bit of caramel. Medium-full bodied with rounded moutfheel. Not really homogenous, it feels like it’s blown up and the chcolate and tar is separated by a rift of soda.
