Flying Dog Gonzo Imperial Porter is an ambitious American Imperial Porter brewed in honour of writer Hunter S. Thompson. At 9.2% ABV, this is a robust beer with a dark, rich malt body and intense roasted character. The brewers blend roasted malts and hop it with Warrior, Northern Brewer and Cascade to 85 IBU, creating a surprising hop kick that cuts through notes of roasted chocolate and coffee. The finish balances roastiness, bitterness and a subtle sweetness, with a lingering hop bite that refuses to fade quietly.

This is a beer that demands respect and rewards careful attention.
