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.

EBF Last Saturday Poured from a bottle by the least friendly server in beer fest history. Huge chocolate aroma and flavor with bits of roast and a ton of nuttiness. Very well made

4 oz. pour from a bottle at EBF, Boston. Saturday Night session. Nutty, chocolate, slight vanilla in a velvety texture. Decent coffee. This comes off boozier than the other two stouts from Horus. Still nice, massive warming after the sip. A year old bottle may score higher for me. Hard to say.

4 oz. pour from a bottle at EBF, Boston. Saturday Night session. This is way more balanced than the Proper Dose I had directly before it. Hazelnut, coffee, chocolate, thick oat like mouthfeel. Great body.

4 oz. pour from a bottle at EBF, Boston. Saturday Night session. The vanilla is bold in aroma and flavor. In flavor is comes off on the border of being too sweet. The coffee element was great but the vanilla just overwhelms.

Pours black, no real head. Smell is full, tad sweet. Taste is full, roasty, mild coffee. Hidden pecan nuts ( rise up more towards the aftertaste ) . Very nice, but I enjoyed Proper Dose far more.
