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

Smooth porter with a mix of something very, very burned and something a little watery. I like the palate, but prefer a bit more spark. Try it though - you won’t regret.

I love this stuff with a passion. Very dark pour. Nose very hoppy dark roast malt. Flavors of chocolate, coffee, baked bread. Very rich almost syrupy mouthfeel. I can tell in the balance what makes it a porter but still very close to most imperial stouts. Amazing Amazing Amazing!!!!!

Great!! Dark black pour with hints of ruby. Aroma of chocolate, citrus, roasted malt and nuts. Taste is complex and smooth with chocolate, orange, cherry and a good hop undertone.

Draft. Thick and shiny, with a brown head and lacing all over the glass. Aromas of coffee and a little dark caramel, plus some hopping is detectable beneath the thick malts. Plenty of silky chocolate on the palate. Lasting finish contains a little bitterness.

Pours like motor oil - a dark brown hue with with a light brown hue. The aroma is of coffee, molasses, chocolat. The smell is very sweet. Flavor is very smoky with a slight bitterness at the finish. Syrupy texture, with lively carbonation.

Mean beer... you better collect the caps when drinking this so you know when to categorically stop yourself. A deep dark brown color with a dark brown head that lasts and lasts, a heavy malt scent but the alcohol content is impossible to mask, roasted flavor with a creamy finish, overall not my favorite style but it definitely makes me want to grow a beard and build a cabin

I fucking hate the Boston Red Sox...so what a better way to forget about a shitty game like that than drinking a brew. Pour, black, huge brown head. Aroma...hops!!??!?!!! In a porter!!! Fuck yes! Flavor is awesome as well, hops and malts. This brew is incredibly balanced. I don’t feel like explaining much more cept to just enjoy this brew :)
