Flying Dog Wild Dog Barrel-Aged Gonzo
From Flying Dog – Hunter S. Thompson once said, “When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro.” Consider this our professional version of Gonzo Imperial Porter. Aged and seasoned for three months in wood barrels from our neighbors at Stranahan’s Colorado Whiskey, this ale has a well-balanced taste and abundance of character. The taste will remind you of sweet chocolate, dry oak, and smooth whiskey with a memorable, velvety mouthfeel.
Flying Dog Brewery – Flying Dog Wild Dog Barrel-Aged Gonzo – On tap at 38 Degrees. 9.5% abv.

Weird that they said their neighbors, I didn’t know that Stranahan’s is a Colorado Whiskey in MD. Probably a great beer but why do they keep pretending that they brew their beer in CO? They left years ago for the east coast.
