Flying Dog Road Dog Scottish Porter

I can remember a hint of licorice in this one. The added malt really helped me differentiate this porter from others of the thin, chocolate variety.

A clear porter with good malt flavor. A bit more bitter than a typical porter, but offers a clean finish.

Bottle at St. Albans beer festival. Dark brown with an off white head. Packed full of all the classic potyer flavours. Rounded and warming. Excellent.

Bottle - Poured a clear brown in color with a small white head that faded to almost nothing. Aroma is malty with hints of dark roasted malts and prunes/dates. Flavor is smoky and fairly sweet with dark fruits and surprisingly strong of cherries. Finishes rather bitter and slightly astringent. An OK beer...

A clear dark brown colored beer, with a thick beige foamed head. The aroma of dark fruits like prune and cherry, dark mals. The taste is dry bitter, smoked malt with fruits like cherries. It is a little bit thin. The after tast is a little bitter.

Bottle from sampler. Pours dark brown with nice frothy head. Good lacing. Aroma was of sweet plum, toasted chocolate, and roasted malt. Upon tasting, I swear I went through the whole bottle not getting a good impression of this beer. I guess that says something. Body is too light for my liking. Flavor leaned sweet, with some apparent hop character.

Clear brown look with a small brown head. The aroma is roasted with notes of chocolate and toasted bread. Flavor is sweet malty with some standard beer bitterness. Light bodied, especiallly for a porter.

Bottle from Booze Bros. in Reno, NV. Poured a dark brown with almost no head. Tasted of coffee with toasted malts. A little on the thin side, but all in all a prettty good brew.
