Flying Dog Road Dog Scottish Porter

Pours deep mahogany into a Shaker. Tan head quickly recedes to nothing. Sweet, smokey chocolate aromas. Dry and astringent upfront turning malty sweet and back to a dry, lasting chocolate syrup finish.

Pours a dark dark amber brown with a thin white head. Not much depth to the taste, but not a bad beer.

Dark amber colored beer beneath an off white head that is thin, leaves quickly and leaves very little lacing. Weak malty aroma with some fruit and other sweet notes coming through. Flavor was a thin malty flavor, caramel and some coffee. if it were any sweeter it would remind me of flat coke. Light body with a slight bitterness to it and some carbonation. Not bad really, just wasted potential.

Bottle: Pours a reddish amber with a tannish in-color head with very little lacing. Smells fruity with roasted malts aroma. Taste is more roasted malt with a bit of bitterness. Not the best porter, to say, but a good brew.

12 oz. bottle. Pours a deep reddish brown with very little head. The nose has hints of raisins, alcohol, and a certain wine note. Smooth on the roof of the mouth, but prickly on the tongue. It has a certain lingering richness to the mouthfeel. The palate seems somewhat elusive. Light roasted notes in the background. A sort of resin note as well. The hops seem to add an overall bitterness that dominates your palate. The flavor definitely seems to be lacking in this one. Some earthiness towards the end. This one doesn’t do much for me at all.

12 oz bottle from a variety 12 pack purchased at EZ Liquors. Poured a reddish brown body underneath a smaller weak looking off white foamy head. Aroma of chocolate, vegtables and baking soda. Flavor is only slightly better because the vegtables aren’t coming through but sadly the flavor is still on the bland side. Some grains and chocolate are there but not nearly as apparent as they should be.

Pours anice dark brown with hints of red. Light brown head, mostly diminishing, very good lacing. The aroma is malty, roasted caramel, hints of chocolate, slight coffee. The flavor is watery, a little roastiness, slight bitter, coffee and a touch of chocolate. Not bad, better thatn the 56 points displayed now.

Pours a dark brown with a rather thick head that tends to last. Smells rather malty with a little grain as well. Tastes malty and a little watery after that.
