Flying Dog Gonzo Imperial Porter

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

An opaque brown beer with a lazing though collapsing brown head. The flavor is sweet and very roasty, while the flavor is sweet with notes of alcohol, roasted malt, and chocolate combined with hops. Nice one.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Black and opaque with a handsome, creamy head. Lovely hoppy nose. Surprisingly sweet with great notes of caramel. Lots of roasted malt, lightly burned flavours. Very lovely. 031205

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.

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.
