Kings of the Road

I recently discovered Total Wine and More, an amazing store with more wine and beer than you could shake a stick at. The beer selection is overwhelming, so Larry and I decided to start buying single bottles through the clever “make your own six-pack” feature so we can try them all. So without further adieu…the first beer review!

Flying Dog Gonzo Imperial Porter

From Flying Dog’s website:

Alcohol Content: 9.0% ABV
Original Gravity: 1.093
IBU’s: 80
Specialty Malts: 120L Crystal, Chocolate Malt, Black Malt
Hops: Warrior, Northern Brewer, Cascade
Process: Double Porter recipe, dry hopped with a shit load of Cascade hops.
Ideal Drinking Occasion: Whenever fear and loathing strikes

What we thought: it’s flavor was as bold as Hunter S. Thompson driving down a desert highway with a head full of acid. That pretty much says it all.

This beer is thick and dark.
