Gonzo Imperial Porter
I poured a 12 ounce capped bottle into a pint glass. A: It poured a deeply brown hue that boarded on black with a brown two finger sticky head. The head lingered and supported a dense lacing that lingered for some time before disappearing. S: This porter verges on a stout in terms of the bold aromas that has a strong coffee profile complemented by bakers chocolate and burnt malts. T: The flavors are as bold as the aromas. Lots of dark burnt malts, bitter chocolate and dark roasted coffee. There is a slightly bitter flavor that is swept away by the moderate carbonation and high ABV leaving a relatively clean palate. M: This is a mighty rich full bodied porter that boldly assaults the mouth and takes no prisoners. It has a bitter back taste but a very clean finish. D: This brew is very enjoyable but its full body heaviness and high ABV make it a beer that can only be experienced in moderate amounts (1-3 in a session).
