3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20Pours pitch black with a toffee colored head that lingers for a while. Nose is boozy, with rum notes and a considerable amount of roasted malt. Flavor-wise there is a good malt backbone shining with a decent amount of sweetness covered by roasted malt that comes out ashy at times (which I despise usually, but this time I’m able to get over it). Alcohol is well hidden and the syrupy mouthfeel from the restrained carbonation makes the experience really enjoyable only in small quantities.

A lot of flavours. Chocolate, coffee, dark fruits, rum and roast. The carbonation seems now to be fixed from earlier bottles. Great balance.

Helst svart öl med ett lätt brunt skum.En öl som är komplex men ändå balanserad i både doft och smak. Doftar av kaffe, choklad, kakao och rom. Samma återkommer i smaken med lätta toner av vanilj. Stor kropp och en gräddig munkänsla.

ar: Oh, Hornbeer, how you can produce a beer that just smells great! Thick layers of coffee, ash, chocolate, roastiness and alcohol that are rich as can be, yet velvety smooth, vanilla, some herbs and light notes of licorice, undefined earthy fruitiness and light, light soy sauce. Absence of a 10 is because I can’t detect any rum.
Ap: Black as a scandinavian winter’s night, small brown head that dissipates and creates a ring.
F: licorice, quite salty, coffee, ash, chocolatey, some vanilla and rum in the finish, paired with soy sauce and a warming note, bitterness is light to medium for the style.
P: full bodied and soft carbonation.
T: If the rum would have been more noticable this would have been a slam dunk, now you have to look for it. Still this is impressive and together with Mikkeller Hornbeer compose the vanguard of Danish quality brewing!

Bottle from local Vinmonopol. Best before 2022. I might get more bottles to age! Anyway, it pours a quite pitch black brew, with a small "cappucino coloured" head. The aroma is dark and fruity. Some chocolate, coffee and caramel. Big body, low carbonation. Lots of stuff going on in the flavor here! Let’s try to describe it: first, I get licorice, then toasted bread, then coffee, then chocolate, and there’s a general note of (burned) wood all around, with hints of smoke. The 11 % abv is noticable. Some artificial pear flavor in the beginning. Hints of leather. Very well balanced. Everything is nicely integrated. I don’t get much rum/spices. Overall it’s pretty darn delicious!

[@ Öl och whiskymässan, Malmö] Svart, kaffe, söt aroma. Smaken var väldigt välbalanserad. Dröjer sig kvar ett bra tag i svalget

Märkligt, fösta gången jag avsmakade denna var den en trevlig överraskning, andra gången blev det en liten besvikelse. Kan detta beror på att jag drack en några år lagrad den första gången?

Bottle, rated from backlog. Liquorice, cocoa, coffee and vanilla flavors in symbiosis. Nice rummy finish

It’s black like hell but gives you a pleasant welcome with aromas of smooth coffee. This full bodied imp stout gives you a mouth filled taste of sweet liquorice, coffee and sweet rhum. Jørgen Fogh Rasmussen you’re a genius.
