Flying Dog Road Dog Scottish Porter

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

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.

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.
