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.

Veramente scarsa. Molto al di sotto della media del suo stile birraio. La peggiore tra tutte le flying dog sentite finora.

12 oz bottle served in a clear pint glass. Pour was a clear, dark brown with 1 finger of white head. Nose is sour pears, malt, and light licorice. Taste is sour and bitter apples with a light toffee finish. A Very strange porter indeed. I would have sworn it was a version of a strong ale.

Bottle. Dark brown colour with a beige head. The aroma of roasted malt and coffee. The flavour is roasted malt, hints of coffee and slightly bitter. Quite thin and tasteless porter.

12 oz bottle. The one I had is the Road Dog Porter, not Scottish Porter. Pours a nice reddish brown. Smells of roasted malt and a little caramel. Light to medium body. Flavors of coffee and maybe chocolate, the end is slightly dry. Not the best porter I’ve had but drinkable.

12 oz bottle Stephanie’s in Doyletown Pa.. Deep red color. Taste was ok nothing to special. Had a fruity core. An average porter. To be fair, I had this after a Fullers London porter some my critique is probably skewed. Not great but worth another try.

The one I had was called Road Dog Porter, not Scottish Porter. The label proudly exclaims "Good beer, no shit", and they say it took 4 years of legal wrangling to be able to put this on their labels. Well, good for Flying Dog. Fairly flat, brown pour. Light, malty aroma. To me it tastes like a good light to medium weight porter. There are toasted grains and coffee in the forefront, and the hopping is on the light side. Perfectly acceptable.

I bought a Flying Dog sampler pack. As I’m not a fan of porter, I was waiting to try this one. Surprisingly, it was not that bad. Usually, I wouldn’t drink a porter by choice, but I would drink the Road Dog again.
