Tasting - Flying Dog Gonzo

Name: Flying Dog Gonzo Imperial Porter
Variety: Imperial Porter
Region: Maryland
Country: USA
Year: 2015
Price: $11 / 6 pack

Brewery Review: Gonzo is big, bold, and beautiful like the man it was brewed in honor of – Dr. Hunter S. Thompson. Flavor notes: Roasted chocolate, coffee, and vanilla malt flavors balanced with a unique hop bite Pairs with: Mushrooms; smoked meats, BBQ, and chili; hard cheese; chocolate and coffee desserts.

My Review: Very strong smelling beer. Hoppy and coffee smells. The taste was strong especially at 9.2% alcohol. I got tastes of chocolate, coffee, and malt. Not one single flavor was overpowering as they were all well balanced. It is a bit heavy and feels like it can be drank as a meal. Very good beer though.
