Commercial Description:
Hunter S. Thompson once said, "When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro." Consider this our professional version of Gonzo Imperial Porter. Aged and seasoned for three months in wood barrels from our neighbors at Stranahan’s Colorado Whiskey, this ale has a well-balanced taste and abundance of character. The taste will remind you of sweet chocolate, dry oak, and smooth whiskey with a memorable, velvety mouthfeel.

Getting my notebook online. Bottle. Pours dark, a nice tan head. Oak flavors come through strong, chocolate sweetness provides a very nice contrast. Good beer!

Bottle. Pours a dark brown body with a tan head. Lots of roasted malt and whiskey with some coffee bitterness. Lightly accented with the barrel and a good amount of etoh in the finish.

On tap, at Ashley’s at UofM in Ann Arbor. One of the top 3 stouts (don’t be fooled by the name) I have had. The non-aged Gonzo is a fantastic beer, but this version is fuller, deeper, and much more enjoyable. If you can find it, you have to try it.

This is one of the best gifts i’ve gotten. It came in a nice wooden box that contained a piece of the barrel the ale was aged in,a nice half pint glass, and a gonzo pin. This ale is just amazing, it pours very dark and smells of a nice vanilla coffee. This ale is full bodied full flavored and very smooth, All in all just a great example of a barrel aged ale!!!

From the tap poured a black color with a fair amount of head. Nice malty flavor with a lingering aftertaste.
