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 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.

Pours a waterish brownish/ light-black with a fading white head. A fresh lacorice dominates the aroma with notes of roasted malts and grains, and dark chocolate. The palate is fresh and a bit tickeling /sparkeling and a little too thin. The taste is fresh with notes of english lacorice, smoke, brown sugars, maltts, and coffée - but not that complex. Cool label...tribute to Hunter S...nice

A slightly thin porter with a sweet flavour of caramel, syrup, roasted malt and coffee. The palate really misses a bit and the sweetness doesn’t help on that problem...

Dark ruby red-brown color, mostly vanishing tan head. Sweet malty, raisin aroma with toasted notes. Malty, a bit fizzy, hints of chocolate, licorice and sweet caramel. In the finish toasted malty and bitterish flavors. Interesting unorthodox porter.

U.S. rating # 333. Botella. Pours a black colour with a medium beige head. Roasty malty aroma. Rather thin mouthfeel. The flavour is a bit thin with roasted malt, some chocolate and a mild bitterness.
