Flying Dog Gonzo Imperial Porter

Intriguing nose of hickory smoke, syrup of figs and dark chocolate. Pours thick, gooey black with a dark tan head. Flavour is joyously understated with hints of all the best characters one may want in a porter/stout. The main set-apart is a sweet tang of lychees that comes in the middle. A corker.

Bottle/12 - Ours a very dark black/brown in color with a small creamy tannish head that faded to a thin covering over the beer. Minor lacing. Aroma is heavy with dark roasted malts, some coffee, some dark chocolate and some dark fruits. Flavor is, again, most dark roasted malts with dark (slightly bitter) chocolate... slightly malty sweet to start and then the bitterness of the dark malts and chocolate kick in. Some alcohol, but not overpowering. This is really good...

12 oz bottle poured into a snifter. Pours black with brown accents, and thin tan head that dissipates mostly. Aroma of roasted malt, coffee, bitter dark chocolate, and a perfumey character. Taste is bitter hops, dark chocolate, and coffee. Mouthfeel is medium and smooth. Pretty drinkable, nice!

Pours a dark chocolate brown with thick tan head. Smells of dark malts, chocolate, molasses,and maybe black licorice. A hint of hops. The taste is dark chocolate, molasses, coffee, and heavy malt, balanced by a very nice hip bitterness. Wonderful! There are hints of alcohol but not overbearing. It has a medium mouthfeel and some creaminess. It strangely reminds me of a tootsie roll for some reason. This is very drinkable and one of my favorites.

Hey Idunno, welcome back! Very impressive beer. Nose full of malt, hops, smoke, dark chocolate, and cedar. Malty sweet palate with notes of dark chocolate, licorice, hops, and Sumatran coffee. Jet black with a toffee colored head.

Pours jet black into the glass with a tan head. Aroma is lots of chocolate and vanilla with some fruit. I don’t get much coffee or roast. Silky texture and a nice chocolate flavor. A good dose of hop bitterness. Nice beer.

tap at tremont taphouse. supposedly this was 9.5% abv? I hear the abv has changed a couple times with this beer. Not sure what the deal is. pours dark brown with a nice foamy tan head. notes of chocolate, coffee, dark fruit, roasted malts. A nice creamy somewhat complex cocoa coffee treat.
had this beer again the following day at the beer engine on nitro. super creamy and now supposedly 9%abv. who knows.

It smells delicious, like a strong Belgian ale almost. it has a big frothy head and a beautiful dark appearance. The flavor is creamy and delicious, but the hop kick they describe is a little too bitter for my taste.
