Commercial Description:
Brewed in the tradition of centuries old Scottish brewing methods, "Road" is reminiscent of a Porter. Road Dog is a rich, malty beer with hints of chocolate and licorice resulting from the use of four prized malts.

Bottle--the first "cool" break hits Florida and off to the dark beer corner of the fridge I go! It’s a pretty typical, not high quality type of porter. Dark brown with a thin head that was the typical tan color. The aroma was of roasted malts with a tasted of the same roasted malts. Heck, you know the rest of the routine.

Dark ruby colored beer with shades of brown. Nice long lasting head. Poor nose gives very light notions of black licorice, road tar and bad coffee. Flavor is very weak, with out depth. A really shockingly bad brew

[EBF @ Copenhagen, September 2008] Average bubbly off-white head that mostly diminished. Spare display of lacework. Dark mahogany color. Aroma of mild roasted malt, caramel, hint of coffee, mild floral notes. Medium bodied with a soft carbonation. Moderated sweet and bitter flavor in balance. Mild bitter roasted malty finish.

Bottle at Stockholm beer festival. Nice head over a rather thinn colored porter. Small aroma for a porter, but chocolate clearly present. The chocolate also present in the taste but rather lean body and not enough bitterness.

Bottle. Strong looking black beer with a weakish head. The aroma is malty, roasted and milky coffee. The flavour is rich, smooth, lightly bitter and milky coffee. Overall a very good beer.

Bottle. Poured a dark brown color with a thin tan head. Aroma of roasted malt and bitter chocolate. Flavor reflects the aroma. Slightly too thin for a porter.
