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 9.2% ABV, it will bite you in the ass if you don’t show it the proper respect. IBU’s: 85

12 fl oz bottle. Pours black with an initil dense brown head with diminishes to a nice lacework in a few minutes. Chocolate malt and light grainy to roasted malt aroma. Flavour is light coffee-ish, chocolate smooth, roasted malt bitter (also from coffee and chocolate). Goes from slight sweet chocolate and liqourice into a dry roasted and subdued hops bitter finish. Wellbalanced into the finish with a lingering chocolate note.

omhper (17478) - Stockholm, SWEDEN - AUG 22, 2005
Bottled. Very black, small beige head. Aroma of licorice and blueberries. Sweet with near full body. Feels young and berryish, with notes of orange, anise and molasses. Salty, tarry finish. Bears no connection to Baltic porters, but I really like the concentrated flavours.
