Flying Dog Road Dog Scottish Porter

Bottle: pours a jet black color. Smoked malt, toffee aroma. Taste is similar and primarily of smoked/roasted malt with not much sweetness. A slight toffe and coffee flavor sneaks in. Nice dryness at the end. Good, hearty beer.

Firkin @ DuClaw Real Ale Festival. Brown pour with a light tan head. Light carbonation. Bread-like aroma with no hops aroma. Semi sweet body, some molasses and chocolate. Smoother than from a bottle.

Poured an opaque dark brown. Aroma was a lot of roasted malts and sweetness. Flavor was smooth. this was an easy beer to drink. Nothing terribly complex, but a really nicely crafted porter.

(Bottle). Roasty malt aroma, touch of sweetness. Color is very dark brown, with a small tan head. Interesting taste profile, with distinct roastiness and smoke, along with malted sweetness, followed by a prolonged malty finish. And yes, the body is a bit thin.

Variety pack of Flying Dog... This is the only one that receives more than a passing grade from me. Very dark brown with a tan head. Roasted barley and chocolate on the nose. Tastes malty, again with a little chocolate coming through. Palate was very nice. Medium bodied - not as thick as I was expecting. Nice carbonation.

Rating No.2300
Bottled(355ml). -Dark brown coloured, medium sized beige head, roasted and mild chocolate nose. Roasted malt, light chocolate and caramel taste with mild vinous , licorice and woody notes. The finish is mild roasted and slightly herbal.

Smells and tastes very roasted. Medium body. Nice roasted malt flavor with a bitter finish. Solid and drinkable.

Pours a clear dark brown with a fizzy head that’s gone in a flash. Malty caramel, chocolate, and coffee in the very weak aroma and flavor. Palate is a bit on the watery side. There is nothing seriously flawed here, just not enough of what is there.
