Flying Dog Road Dog Scottish Porter

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

Pours dark mahogany with ruby highlights and brilliant clarity. Chocolaty in the nose with some smokey malt qualities in flavor, almost burnt. Not a favorite.

Bottle from a sampler from Harris Teeter Barracks Charlottesville. Pours adark amber with good retention for a small head. Roasted malt aroma with a weird off taste. Creamy coffee burnt taste with a strong grainy feel. Drinkable but not very good.

Pours a hazy brown or dark maroon with a small off white head. Smells alot of dark fruits, sweet sugars, and dark syrupy malts. The mouthfeel was medium to light bodied. Flavors consisted of dark sweet malts, a little caramel, sweet dark fruits, and the smallest touch of some vanilla. I wouldnt exactly put this in the porter category, as it really doesnt taste like one at all. Although its pretty drinkable, it certainly doesnt excite, and almost certainly is misclassified.

Bottle at ØLbaren - thanks to Nikolaj. Dark brown - offwhite head. Roasted, wet dog, licorice, caramel, straw, hay, light grainy. Not a porter !!!

Black cherry color.Thin head. Raisin malt, spicy hops. Not a thick or heavy porter. A tad watery, but fine otherwise.

Bottle (part of a mixed 12 pack): Pretty good porter. Aroma and flavor of malt and chocolate. Very drinkable. I would gladly drink again.

Dark brown/black colored brew. Malty aroma, not strong. A bit watery. Flavor is malty, chocolate with a light bitterness. Could use stronger bitterness to make it less light.

Bottled. Dark brown coloured with a small tan head. Malty with notes of chocolate, molasses, dark fruit and hops. Quite mild and thin bodied.
