Flying Dog Gonzo Imperial Porter

Brewed by Flying Dog Brewery
Style: Imperial/Strong Porter
Frederick, Maryland USA

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.

Deep black pour with a thinning brown head, aroma is malty and chocolate, flavor is sweet with roasted toffee, coffee and chocolate, finishes super smooth, slightly hoppy.

Amazing beer. I had this head to head with the wild dog, I definitely preferred this one. Pours dark with off white head. Big flavours of dark chocolate, roasted malts

Super dark with and off white head. Aroma is roasty, coffee, dark bitter chocolate, and some faint hops and sugary sweetness. Taste is similar and has all the characteristics I enjoy. Very balanced and great for a larger scale Imperial.
