Flying Dog Gonzo Imperial Porter

Urco boia che figata che figata che figata che figata che figata che figata che figata che figata che figata che figata che figata che figata che figata 1181-1226 monaco, fondatore dell’ordine francescano. Figlio di un ricco commerciante umbro tale Pietro Bernardone, fu dal padre denunziato presso il Vescovo di Assisi per aver donato alcuni dei suoi beni ai poveri e durante il giudizio rinunciò alle sue ricchezze e si denudò restituendo al padre anche i propri abiti. L’ordine mendicante fu approvato dalla Chiesa di Roma nel 1221 e ricevette dignità ufficiale nel 1223 (da papa Onorio III).

Sampled at flying Dog: Poured a thicker dark opaque black colour with a large brown head. Aroma initially is of alcohol and oak. Heavily roasted malts, nutty and dark chocolate characteristics. Very satisfying brew.

Aroma, dark chocolate. Huge, frothy, light brown head. Excellent lacing. Fully lasting longevity. Black body. Heavy bitter flavor with smoked notes. Medium palate.

A pretty good beer from a brewery that is hit or miss. This beer is rich oak with a quickly rising cocoa head. Flavor is dominated by chocolate, smoke, and firewood. Sticky not in its thickness but rather in its ability to linger on the palate. Nicely done.

12 oz. bottle. Pours dark brown/black. Smells sweet and malty, a bit of hops. Good long-lasting heavy sweet flavor. You can definitely taste roasted malts, chocolate, and some coffee.

pours a deep brown with a thick tan head. aroma is full of chocolate and heavy sweet aroma. a bit of hops present in aroma. flavor is intense rounding out with roasted malt and coffee. a seriously good brew.

12oz. Oh, BABY! This beer has class. Essentially a gourmet dessert in a bottle. First, we start with the pour: pretty much black with a dense tan head and bubbles racing up the sides. Next, we sniff: I’m envisioning a three-chocolate layered cake with heavy cream whipped icing. The flavor profile is phenomenal, some serious sweetness with chocolate again, lemon, spearmint, ginger and earl grey tea to boot. Mouthfeel is where this really shines: creamy, not too viscous and not too thin, palate coating with a pang of bitterness and acidity on the finish. About as distinguishably complex as it gets: a close to perfect beer. DECADENT.

12 oz. bottle, 2007 vintage. Pours a dark brown, almost black with a thin tan head. Nice smoky aroma, with chocolate and malt. Thick smooth drink with chocolate, toffee and some coffee flavors. Roasted malt in the aftertaste. Decent, but nothing particularly fascinating.
