Bird Song from Horus Aged Ales

3 months ago

7.9/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 8.5

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.

7.8/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 8 Texture 6 Overall 8

Poured from 500mL bottle (batch #3; bottled 03.2024; 13.2% abv). Very dark brown with very minimal beige head. Nice dark fruits on the nose, the bourbon element is feint in the background, light booziness, a bit thin bodied. Okay. Enjoying it more as it warms up (+0.1).
