Horus — Triple Grasp

Détails techniques

Profil de dégustation

The nose unfolds with profound complexity: dark chocolate ganache, bourbon-soaked vanilla, and blackstrap molasses layered with roasted espresso and dark stone fruit. Twenty months in oak have woven caramelized toffee and charred oak into the fabric. The palate delivers viscous, coating richness—waves of brown sugar, bourbon warmth, and praline culminate in bittersweet cocoa. Barrel tannins provide structural elegance beneath the decadent sweetness. The finish extends luxuriously, with lingering notes of aged tobacco, dark fruit compote, and smoldering oak that evolve gracefully in the glass.

Accords avec les aliments

Pair with a dense chocolate marquise or flourless torte, where the beer’s bourbon character and roasted depth amplify the dessert’s bittersweet intensity. Alternatively, serve alongside aged Manchego or creamy Stilton; the beer’s caramelized sweetness and tannic structure create a harmonious dialogue with concentrated umami and crystalline salt notes in well-aged cheese.
