Gonzo beer drinking
or maybe that’s redundant
there’s no holding back

Written by Captain Hops.

References: The fine folks over at Flying Dog Brewery sent me a sample of their new Barrel Aged Gonzo Imperial Porter. It’s part of their Wild Dog specialty beer limited release series. Boy was I impressed. It’s a really complex beer but so well balanced and drinkable. There will only be 5000 of these 750 ml cork sealed bottles produced, so if you happen to find one, do yourself a favor and pick it up.
