Flavor:
Malty__ Balanced__ Hoppy__ Other__
An amazing taste. Honestly one of my favorites I have had ever. Almost a dark chocolate taste with a huge kick. Being over 9% ABV, I could only enjoy one before I was into a full body experience of this beer.

Overall Thoughts:
I love it, and will be drinking it again. I choose it just for the bottle's look but in the one case, it was good to judge this "book" by it's cover.

Craftmanship:
Dull__ Average & 'Meh'__ Average & Delicious__ Exciting_
It's amazing to say the least. You just have to taste it for yourself. Go grab yourself a Gonzo from Flying Dog at Whole Food on US1, they had tons of them there when I went to buy it.

Overall Rating:
9/10
