Flying Dog Gonzo Imperial Porter

Pours black with a thin brown head. Aroma smells of heavy, roasty malts, chocolate, sligt hops, and sweetness. Flavor is of roasty malt, chocolate, faint hops, some coffee, toffee, and caramel. Body is rather thick and creamy with low carbonation. Decent overall.

I was totally pumped to try this one. I had it brought back for me from Arizona. Used oil dark with a nice dark brown head. The aroma wasnt as strong as I expected. The taste was roasted cocoa, olive and cherry. It was definitely a good beer but it didn’t live up to the hype.

Bottle from Kegs & Barrels in Plano, TX. Pours a deep, dark brown/black with nice chocolate head. Aroma of dark roast and baking cocoa. Flavor is malty, dark roast, baking chocolate, hops. Mouthfeel is heavy body with high carbonation. Overall, a very tasty strong porter....enjoyed!

Tap @ WBF in mount holly. Enjoyed this porter, was not expecting much from this but it is a great porter.

Poured jet black with a small creamy head. I didn’t find the aroma particularly interesting; there seemed to be very little on the nose. The taste however was completely different. I was knocked out particularly, I think, with a strong suggestion of liqourice and some roasted barley & coffee notes. This certainly had the ’wow’ factor for me and has to be one of the best beers I’ve tasted in a long, long time.

Pours black with thin brown head. Minimal lacing. Aroma is chocolate, caramel, and floral hops. Full bodied. Chocolatey on the tongue. No alcohol present. Finishes sweet with malted milk flavor.

My Favorite Porter of all time if i had to choose only one porter to drink this would be it

The flavor is the key here. Lots of coffee and roasted tastes. The finish is very long too, which is nice. I think the aroma is only a little above average. I also find the carbonation a bit aggressive.
