Description
Horus Aged Ales is a 100% barrel aged brewery located in Oceanside, California. We believe in pushing the boundaries on how much beer can evolve through resting in oak by using a variety of different wine and spirit barrels, adding exotic fruits, and fermenting spontaneously. The complexity of the beer portrays our passion for experimentation and patience required to produce such a unique beverage. Horus has been a decade long dream that is finally coming true and we look forward to introducing our exclusive beer to the fine people of San Diego County.

Inky black, no head. Super rich sugars and massive coconut. Over the top intensity. Good barrel but it’s more sugar foward than barrel forward.

22oz @ Ryan's shared with Phill (thx for the beer, man!).
Aroma: somewhat weird, brown sugars, sweet, bold.
Taste: very thick and sweet, noticeable but not overwhelming maple syrup, brown sugars, toasted coconut.
Overall: good enough by the 6-7 years old standards, but not for nowadays IMHO.

Poured from 650mL bottle. Near black with minimal beige head. Aroma of toasted coconut, underlying artificial corkboard (that you would stick thumbtacks in, almost plastic-y in some senses), and feint hint of maple syrup. Subuded, not a fan of the corkboard element, the maple syrup is at a nice subtle level. Taste is medium thick molasses with balanced toasted coconut and maple. The taste makes up for the aroma. Definitely overpriced for what you're getting here.

You know exactly what you’re gonna get with these guys. Massive chocolate bourbon nose as soon as we got through the wax and popped it. Dark Chocolate, cherry, thick, feels slightly boozy for the ABV , syrupy pour, Mouthcoating

Medium body, sweet and boozy. Finally a decent amount of barrel, dark chocolate, a touch of roast, rich and smooth. Balanced, especially for a Horus. Fantastic.

Intense, sweetish and slightly roasty with loads of velvety vanilla, barrel notes, syrup, toffee and oak. Soft and complex. Nice. ABV is super well hidden
