Horus — Triple Grasp

Few names in the American craft beer underground command as much reverence as Horus Aged Ales, and Triple Grasp stands as one of the most coveted expressions to ever emerge from Kyle Harrop’s obsessive, small-batch operation based in Oceanside, California. This is not simply a beer — it is a meticulously engineered collector’s object, born from a philosophy that treats barrel-aging as an art form worthy of the finest wine cellars in the world.

A Brewery Built on Rarity

Horus Aged Ales produces in quantities so limited that most releases sell out within minutes of dropping online. Kyle Harrop sources exceptional barrels — often from prestigious bourbon, rye, and wine producers. Then fills them with high-gravity base beers designed specifically to survive and thrive through extended maturation. The result is a portfolio of releases that collectors across North America, Europe, and beyond actively seek out, trade, and cellar for years. Triple Grasp exemplifies this ethos at its most ambitious.

Style, Complexity, and Tasting Notes

Triple Grasp is a massively structured barrel-aged imperial stout, layered with extraordinary depth and refinement. On the nose, expect waves of dark chocolate, roasted espresso, toasted coconut, and rich vanilla drawn from the oak. The palate reveals a velvety, almost chewy texture with notes of caramelised brown sugar, dried dark fruit, and a whisper of warm baking spice. The finish is long, warming, and extraordinarily balanced — a testament to Harrop’s uncompromising approach to blending and maturation. This is a beer designed to be sipped slowly, contemplated, and shared among those who truly appreciate the craft.
