Commercial Description:
Hunter S. Thompson once said, "When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro." Consider this our professional version of Gonzo Imperial Porter. Aged and seasoned for three months in wood barrels from our neighbors at Stranahan’s Colorado Whiskey, this ale has a well-balanced taste and abundance of character. The taste will remind you of sweet chocolate, dry oak, and smooth whiskey with a memorable, velvety mouthfeel.

0.355 l bottle from Systembolaget. Black color with cream tan head. Deep rich aroma with oak, vanilla, salty licorice. Sweetish, oaky and roasty flavor with salty licorice and american oak and vanilla. Oaky mouthfeel. Rich taste, nice sipping beer. Would be better with less oak, though.

Bottled 355ml. Courtesy of Bov. Licorice, shōchū, soy sauce, wood and candy in the nose. Complex. A lot of soy sauce showing up in the taste. Full bodied. Minty on the swallow. Chocolatey minty finish. Thanks a lot Bov!

Its very dark brown with a small brown head. Aroma holds delicate notes of bourbon, vanilla, wood, and a good amount off sweet coffee toffee. Smooth delicious palate with some light roasted bitter notes and lots of fullfilling sweet sticky toffee. Very nice

One can notice the evolution of ordinary version of Gonzo imperial porter - the hop flavour and smell has faded away, but the new oak and bourbon flovours has developed. But there is still something which resembles the original imperial porter. All in all, an outstanding brew. Very smooth, maybe on a sweet side. Considering the strength there is suprisingly not much alcohol taste.

Bottle. Not as good as the regular gonzo. This one is a bit more shy. Interesting mint tone in taste.
