Flying Dog Road Dog Scottish Porter

Brewed by Flying Dog Brewery
Style: Porter
Frederick, Maryland USA

12 ounce bottle. Nice head lasts what seems like forever. Dark, like a porter should be, some coffee, malts, and a nice mouthfeel. Nice job.

12 oz. bottle. Pours a thick lasting head with minimal lacing, over a light, clear brownish body.....nose of coffee then chocolate malts....tastes primarily of malts with coffee roasting overtones...mild and rather light mouth feel. Pleasant, but I would not seek it out. 11/27/2008

Medium light brown with a tthin, wispy foam that quickly disappears. Aroma of cocoa powder and hops. Raisins, hops and cocoa powder are evident in the flavor. Thin, dry body that is a little too carbonated. A drinkable beer.

A thin looking black with ruby highlights and a thin cover of light tan head that dissipates slowly but eventually leaves only a ring at the edge of the glass. Thin roasted malt aroma, some coffee and burnt toast. Taste is more nice roasted malts, a bit thin but the roasted coffee sneaks in at the end.

Dark opaque ruby, tiny but firm beige head. Roasted malty aroma, little cocoa, vanilla and hops. Roasted, mildly chocolatey flavor, some hops and dried fruits, liquorice in the finish. Subtle flavors, and maybe a tad metallic. Almost medium bodied, slightly coarse carbonation. Alright, easy and light porter.

Bottle.355ml. A solid porter, with a nice head, coffee, roasty, floral, vanilla, brown, clear, frothy, light sweetness, lightly bitter.

Pours brown with a thin tan head. Smells of sweet malt, some spice. Tastes earthy and roasty with some spicy hints.

Bottle @ OTTOfest in Oulu, Finland. Ruby brown beer with weak, blond beige head. Aroma is sweetish malty with dates, some rostedness and typical hop character for an american ale. Flavor has bready malts, some sour coffee beans and the medium bitter finish is slightly burned. Palate is a bit overly carbonated and medium bodied. Boring porter.
