Commercial Description:
Like Hunter S. Thompson...Gonzo Imperial Porter is deep and complex. This turbo charged version of the Road Dog Porter is mysteriously dark with a rich malty body, intense roasted flavors, and a surprisingly unique hop kick. With Gonzo weighing in at 7.8% ABV, it will bite you in the ass if you don’t show it the proper respect. IBU’s: 85

Pours black with a tan head. Roasted malts, coffee, and hop finish for the aroma and taste. Good drinking porter.

Neat looking black brew with a creamy head. Light very caramell and hop oriented aroma just like the flavour. Easy to drink, creamy mouthfeel and a hoppy, roasty finish. Nice, drinkable but not very complex.

Pours black with a thin foamy head that dissipates quickly. Nice roasted malt flavors with some coffee/chocolate. A light biiter hop finish. A very good porter.

A jet black brew with a small beige head that dissapears. The aroma is at first sweet, then fruity, then spicy, and finally chocolate/coffee. The taste is dominated by roast malt, with an unmistakable hop bitterness, and alcohol heat. very deliciously chewy mouthfeel. A great beer!

Dark, dark brown with tan head. Straight pine and malt aroma. Seemed a bit thin, but easy drinking with just enough sweet carmel and roasted something to make it interesting.

Thanks to HogTownHarry. Appearance: Pitch black with a small brown head. Aroma: Wow, I can smell it from an arms length away: Roasted malt, cream, hoppy, coffee, almost baileys like with a lot more coffee... awesome. Flavour: So creamy, coffee, peat, chocolate, long peat/turf finish, just so simple yet satisfying. Hops fight through the finish. An incredible brew.

Really nice stout. Dark brown with nice brown head. Very complex aromas with coffee and chocolate (and more). Taste is very good with more of the same. Long aftertaste, and quite creamy. I did not expect to much although this is really a good brewery. Very easy drinkable stout with some american taste in the form of hops, but just slightly. Go flying dog, go!

Pours black with a tan head. A strong porter - very malty with a bitter kick.
