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

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.

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!

12 oz bottle served in a clear pint glass. Poured a dark black with a 1/2 inch layer of off white head. Aroma was roasted malts, coffee, and light chocolate. Taste was much the same. The beer was not overly thick, and actually, just the right body for this particular brew.

Dark brown pour with small reddish head. Coffee and chocolate in the aroma, flavor of more coffee and spices. Thick but smooth finish.

On draught at Rattle N Hum (NYC): Black pour, pillowy, tan head. Heavily sweetened malts flavor that’s light on hops. Roasted coffee, strong dark chocolate notes, moderate smokey feel and a bit of caramel. Modest and decent. Drinkability: A delicious, sweet porter that may lack a balance of roasted, toasted, and burnt smoke flavor (but I seriously can’t complain). Rebuy: Yes. #010 on 14062009, Rarated on 06112009, DG.
