3 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20Pour from a 12 oz bottle. Brown brew that looks just like a cola, except for the bit of lacing that the thin head leaves behind. Light aroma of toasted malts. Nice malty flavor dominated by toasted malts and chocolate - surprisingly not sweet but with an emphasis on the roasted flavors. Nice bitter hops in the finish, though subdued. Overall, a nice porter but nothing distinctive here. Reminds me of Michelob’s Porter, which is also well executed and nice, but kinda plain jane...

Pour is dark brown with an averaged sized tan head. Aroma is faint - roasted malts, molasses, coffee. Flavor and body are thin and much like the aroma.

Gentle metal and aged malt on the nose; this isn’t as fresh as would be ideal. Looks great though; a rich, consistent, coffee brown color and an appreciably thick cream head. Despite a dilapidated aroma, the flavor is great, albeit definitively mellow. A porter, cut and dry.

3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 13/20
Refrigerated 12 oz. brown bottle poured into a shaker. Pours translucent dark brown with medium brown highlights with small beige head. A little lacing, thin body, medium/low carbonation, and light chocolate aroma. Taste is light dark malt and light vegetable hops. A little thin, but pretty easy to drink.

35,5 cl bottle @ home. Rated on 28.08.2009
Aroma is somewhat roasted with toffee and licorice. Flavour has roasted notes, some toffee, licorice and hints of coffee. Quite thin palate. Does not work, just too straightforward and thin.
That ’NO CENSORSHIP’ makes me smile as the Gonzo porter was blocked from Alko due to the cigarette in the label.
2.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Reddish brown colour with medium off white head.
Aroma, wood, chocolate, coffee, nuts.
Full oily body, medium carbonation.
Taste is very watery, with nuts, chocolate and coffee.
Not bad, but also not that good.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Not one of the best of Flying Dog Brewery. The beer is lame and misses a specific taste.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 14/20
a light porter... some chocolat and coffee... well balanced bitterness and sweetness... very short finish...
