The 5th Horseman is an Imperial Brown Ale from Bronckhorster Brewing Company, based in Rha in the Achterhoek region of the Netherlands. This robust 12% ABV beer has matured for seven months in Martell Cognac casks, lending it considerable depth and warmth.

The beer reveals roasted malt, caramel, and pronounced cognac character. The alcohol is present but well-integrated, with a soft and warming mouthfeel. This is a beer designed for contemplative sipping, rewarding patience with layered flavours that develop as it opens up.
