Flying Dog - Gonzo Imperial Porter 8.7%



Taste: Tastes like being attacked by a Licorice swirl. A walk through a coal mine, dewy moisture drips from above into your cavernous mouth. It's dark but you can make out the silhouettes of hanging bats against the light falling in through the cave opening some hundred feet away. Later that day you get home and drink this beer, It tastes like a licorice sandwich. But wet and cold. You're pleased, especially when you realise that it gets better with each taste. The attacking feeling you once felt is now just a gentle flogging.

Appearance: Dark coal mine. Cool Ralph Steadman artwork.

Would you buy 2? Yes, I believe so.

Would you buy 4? Four. If I was sharing it. It's a bit scary for that many by yourself.

Rating (out of 7): 5***** It's a good time beer.
