Gonzo Imperial Porter

From Flying Dog brewery, named in honor of the immortal Hunter S. Thompson. Gonzo is classed as a Baltic Porter.Not a photon passes through the deep darkness of this black beauty, and the thickness causes it to adhere to the sides of the glass as it is consumed. Some dark chocolate at first, with some figs, plums and black cherries as I progress through the 9.2% ABV porter. The extra alcohol lends a whiskey-ish tang to the experience. I'm catching some hoppiness under all the velvety goodness. A brew to be savored...great on these cold, cold days.
