Pours a clear dark golden with a white head. Complex and interesting aroma of tropical fruits, citrus, banana, pine, malt, yeast, bubblegum, and hops. Flavour is light to moderate sweet with a hoppy medium bitter finish. Body is medium to full. This is quite a lovely well-rounded brew. *** Re-rate after many years: Less fruity than I remember, rather sticky resinous with malt and bubblegum hops.

Pours a clear golden with a decent white head. Fruity aroma of citrus, malts, peppery spices, and plenty of hops. Medium bitter aftertaste. Refreshing and easily drinkable.

Pours a deep orange copper colour with a small off-white head. Aroma of citrus fruits, mango, herbs, bitter hops. ABV is hefty at 11.5%, unsurprisingly the alcohol doesn’t hide itself. Hoppy, bitter aftertaste. Good, but not spectacular.

Black appearance with a large tan head. Aroma of roasted malts, hint of raisins, coffee, caramel, chocolate, fruity and resinous hops, some liquorice. Flavour is roasty, coffee and chocolate. Nice hop bitterness in the long aftertaste. Wonderful brew.

Aroma of dark malts,caramel, pumpkin, and a shitload of spices (nutmeg, clove, cinnamon, you name it). Flavour is malty and herbal sweetness. This really is a nicely balanced beer, I do not favour overly sweet or spiced brews, and this was just about right.

Aroma of citrus fruits, tropical fruits, caramel, aromatic hops. Flavour is creamy caramel malts, strong citrus hops, with a bittersweet finish. The alcohol is hidden pretty well. Not very complex, but nice and quaffable.

[as Flying Dog Gonzo Imperial Porter, ABV 10.0%] Bottiglia. Arco olfattivo dominato da caffè e cioccolato. L'olfatto viene stimolato in maniera elevata, permanendo in maniera apprezzabile. Il cappello di schiuma color marrone castagno resiste abbastanza. La grandezza delle bollicine è a grana fine. Il colore è scuro impenetrabile. Il corpo è strutturato ma duttile. L'amaro è pronunciato. La forza gustativa è elevata e la durata è buona. Il gusto è piacevole. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di birra beverina. Il retrogusto è intenso. Al gusto vengono donati toni di miele, crosta di pane, cioccolato fondente, caffè, liquirizia, nocciola, frutta secca e agrumi.

Aroma of wheat, banana, citrus, spicy yeast. Flavour is similar, fruity and light sweet. Palate is a bit watery. Mediocre Hefeweizen from Flying Dog.
