Beautiful piece of craftsmanship.

Did my horn come chipped? Yes

Did it leak? Yes

Did nail hardner fix it? Let's hope so.

Listen you're buying a product made of natural horn, it's going to have some issues since it's not uniform like something machine made.

The horn is gorgeous and most issues have been solved with a bit of nail hardner and some 0000 steel wool.

Even with the work I had to put it to get it working right this thing is beautiful and amazing. I'm giving it 5 stars, deal with it.

TL;DR: If you can't put the work in to have an AleHorn, are you sure you're worthy of Valhalla?

I am so happy with my Tankard. Each AleHorn Tankard is unique and authentic!!!
by Yuko (5 out of 5 stars)

I bought one 16oz Tankard and one polished, 12" horn with a stand for my husband's birthday. Both AleHorn products were well-wrapped and arrived safely in stylish AleHorn bags (see the photo). My husband loves both, especially the Tankard. It's beautiful and authentic - It is amazing to see that the cup and the handle were made from one horn, which explains why there are some rough spots on the bent of the handle. But because of that reason, each AleHorn Tankard is unique and authentic!!! Plus, I couldn't have been happier when I found it had no smell at all since I was a bit worried about animal smell some reviewers commented on. Although there was no smell, I followed the reviewers' advice - I sprinkled baking soda in each horn, placed them in a plastic bag overnight, and then hand washed them with warm water and kitchen soap. My husband proudly took the Tankard and the polished horn to a beer garden on his birthday. He drank cold beer from the horn in the center of envious eyes and whispering! I love these AleHorn products and will definitely buy them again as gifts. Thanks, AleHorn! AleHorn Wife from NY

Trust these people, they have proven themselves men of honor!
by Amazon Customer (5 out of 5 stars)

I ordered two tankards and I had a problem with one of them. It is my understanding that the problem can occur because the product is made of natural horn. To my surprise and delight, the supplier of the AleHorn Tankards I bought for Christmas presents responded to my needs and went well above anything I expected. They above all showed themselves to be men of honor! It is so rare to find individuals with such character when ordering from the web. If you are like me, you have ordered items and hoped for the best, not sure if the product will come close to your expectations. But when you are dealing with men like these men, you have nothing to fear. They will be there to make sure the outcome will surpass your expectations.

No two are alike
by Christopher Coleman (4 out of 5 stars)

DAVID & GOLIATH: I ordered two mugs. Both the 20oz size. I expected them to be a little different in look but I was a little caught off guard when one was CONSIDERABLY larger than the other. Mug #1 was tall and fat. Mug #2 was two inches shorter than #1 and pretty normal in girth...more what I expected them both to look like.

After getting out my measuring cup and filling both to their brims Mug #1 holds a whopping 47oz!!!! of liquid. And Mug #2 holds a more normal 27oz....

I'm not gonna complain or return them because they're both in working condition and look fantastic but be warned that no two mugs are made alike and technically they both do hold "at least" 20 ounces.

Five Stars, but with caveats...
by Cyberalt (5 out of 5 stars)

My first purchase was a XL mug I could pour an entire 500ml bottle into. When I got it, it was a little disconcerting because I always thought horns were more "bony" if-you-will, and if someone had handed it to me out of blue I would have sworn it was plastic. My wife (who is much smarter than me), said it didn't look at all like plastic to her because it would be extremely difficult to get the variations in color with plastic. When she explained horns were more like nail, it made sense. And once you see more than one, it's like: "Oh, yeah. I'm an idiot".

Immediately, I wanted to get a smaller one to take with me on D&D nights. For some reason it appeared one Large was more expensive than an XL. I decided to buy a set of 4L and give away a couple to my game friends. It's convenient that each come in a cloth bag more durable than a Crown Royal sack, especially if you're giving them away. The only thing that was a bit annoying was the smell. These must have been newer in production because the lacquer odor was very prominent. However, after using one a few times, I can report that the smell has dissipated (still there, but negligible at this point). I am happily enjoying an IPA with it as I write this.

The only other issue to be aware of (and I can't believe this would be a purchasing criteria), is that it appears that the irregular surface on the inside creates more foam, so you will have to pour even MORE carefully down the side than normal.

All the features I rated 4 of 5.

Durabilty is limited by the sensitivity to heat (no dishwasher) and being an organic product, there is variations in thickness in the walls.

Easy to clean, again no dishwasher -- which isn't a gut-wrenching tragedy -- but you should have a good, flexible, soft cleaning brush, especially if you don't rinse it immediately after use (and if you've used it a lot that night, you know you won't have!).

Easy to hold: Well, yes and no. From what I've experienced, it seems the handle configurations favor a right-hand drinker (me) based on limited experience switching hands.

Ok, I know I said there were caveats...minor caveats.

But I thought that was a way for you to read this review.

Ragnar lives!

Skol!

Do not buy. It isn't water proof
by Timothy D. Moore (1 out of 5 stars)
July 20, 2019

It feel apart day one. It came in chipped and cracked on the bottom and under the handle. I just thought it was an organic thing but it was the resin layer that was coming off as I inspected it further. The top, after one day is use of being washed in cold water and having a cup of cold water, started splitting on the top and the layers of bone started to peel away from each other. Inside the resin isn't smooth and had bumps in it. The bumps occurred not because of the organic nature of the bone but the way the resin was cured. Do not buy if you want something that works right out of the box. You will need to add your own resin layer to it to be safe.

Awesome Product, Awesome Customer Service
by Aaron Kahn-Bork (5 out of 5 stars)

My Alehorn arrived last night and I was ecstatic - it's absolutely gorgeous, and I immediately fell in love. I was looking forward to enjoying a beer with it today (worked out before bed and didn't wanna kill my gainz, bro).

Then, the unthinkable happened: I found some damage on the inside of the horn. Having already imprinted on my horn like a baby duck with its mother, I hoped it was reparable and emailed the company for advice.

First of all, Ben replied to my email after only 11 minutes which is a pretty astonishing response time.

Second, and speaking as a manager in the service industry myself, he provided some of the best customer support I've ever received. He told me how to fix my horn, then told me I shouldn't have had to and that he was sending me a brand new one in addition.

Not all heros wear capes. Actually for all I know Ben does. I didn't ask. You get the point.

I'll update this review with details once I repair the first horn, receive the new one, and drink from both.

So far, I'm pretty impressed by the product and the company.

It's awesome, it's cool, it's incredibly unique!
by Lola G. (5 out of 5 stars)

This is just really, really cool. Gave it to my husband for a gift (the man who has everything), and he has been drinking out of it nonstop. I got him the large, holds a can of beer (maybe need to take a sip or two to finish off the can). He loves the look and feel of it. No leaks, sturdy. Based on his reaction, I bought him the extra large the next day. Bigger is better. Would highly recommend.

Wasn't as advertised
by Kelsey Sharpe (2 out of 5 stars)

I was so excited about purchasing this product, I researched getting a drinking horn for quite some time before deciding to go with this particular company. I ordered this for my boyfriend as a birthday present (he loves Game of Thrones). When the package came I ripped it open immediately to see how great it was. First, the horn I pulled out was all black which was extremely disappointing because I specifically ordered from this sight because most reviews and pictures had more variety in coloration. I understand they vary in color, but I did not want it to be solid black and since so many reviews showed colorful horns I was hopeful. Next, the mug did not come with a pouch as pictured in the description photos. Since it is a gift I was hoping it had the little pouch just because it adds to the gift. Lastly, the bottom does not have the etched in Ale Horn logo, but instead it has a piece of black foam. It reminds me of something I would get at an amusement park rather than something a bit more authentic which is what I was shooting for.
