Flying Dog Gonzo Imperial Porter

Tastes like a barley wine. I could care less if I ever have another one again. I’m not trying to be a jerk but the rating before mine explains somthing. "nice note of violets and iodine." IODINE... Really? FN iodine? So your beer tastes like iodine and you rate it a 4.1? what ever.

Bottle at the Bishops Arms, Malmo, 18th May 09. Near black with a whitish head. Aroma of coffee, chocolate malts and alcohol. Similar flavour, but with a nice note of violets and iodine. Oily and smooth, it lingers just the right amount. A very satisfying example of the style.

Overall Impression: I haven’t had this beer in a while, but it is a pretty good one. I need to pick up a bottle of this soon to give it a proper rating, for now will just stick this filler comment in here to go with my old rating (numbers).

Pretty nice Imperial Porter. Pours dark brown with an off-white head. Nose is roast, dark chocolate, chicory, and some hints of sweetness- overripe fruit, maybe. Flavor is very good- roast, chicory, dark malt, some bitterness, and some sweetness. Medium-bodied and lingering roasty sweetness. Very nice robust porter.

Dark brown. Tan head. Very nice aroma. Taste of brown sugar. Roasted malts. This is very good!

bottle thanks to swalden28. poured a dark brown with a beige head and nice lacing. aroma of chocolate, coffee, hops, alcohol. flavor is the same as the nose. body is medium-full with high carbnation. all in all maybe on of their best offerings.

Bottle. Black with a nice brown head. Aroma and flavour of coffee, roasted malt, chocolate and hops.

Colore veramente nerissimo, denso e impenetrabile. Bella schiuma cremosa quasi tipo caffè con media persistenza. Complesso e alcoolico l’aroma,note di liquore,caffè tostato, legno bruciato.in bocca è ugualmente complesso con forse un tocco di cioccolato in aggiunta.Eccellente!
