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.

12 oz bottle. Poured dark brown with a thick head. Aroma is all malt. Flavor is malt, but very light for a porter.

12oz bottle from variety pack...pours dark brown, barely any head...chocolate, malts, and roasted coffee bean aroma...flavor was much of the same...thin though...decent flavor, just not enough oomph.

Bottle @ home. Dark reddish brown, off-white head. Aroma is malts and some hops, even a bit skunky. Gets better when it warms up. Flavour is sweet, caramel, coffee, roasted malts. A bit thin, but nice flavours, soft and dry mouthfeel.

Almost black pour with a tan head. I smell some roastiness and toastiness..chocolate, malt and some caramel maybe? Flavor is ok, kinda water. Coffee and chocolate are noticeable and maybe some dark fruit. Not bad, but not even close to their imperial porter.

Bottle with no reference to Scottish. Dark brown/ruby, translucent, nice head. Medium bodied and very smooth. Chocolate malts come through. Slightly sweet and not too roasty. Possibly not daring enough, but still worthwhile.

Bottle. Near black with a small beige head. Aromas are mellow berries with chocolate and weetabix malts. Floral with mollasses. Herbal and smoky. Flavours are chocolate malts with dark chocolate bitterness. Earthy roast malts with peppery hops. Thinner than I expected but still decent.

12oz. Bottle pour. More Flying Dog artsy stuff on the label. "Good Beer No Shit" emblazoned proudly on front. Pours dark, but clear red/brown. Brown head is thin and not lingering. Malt aroma. Malty flavor, coffee, roasty. Slight lingering mouthfeel.

Bottled. Pours out in a clear reddish brown colour with a fluffy off-white foam. Clean yet malty aroma of old coffee, caramel, mild licorice with weak citriusy undertones. Medium-bodied with notes o froasted malts, caramel and nuts. Clean and sterile mouthfeel. Clean and rather short finish of crystal malts, roasted malts and caramel. Lacking soul.
