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 @ Chris o.
Pours deep red mahogany with a small, creamy off-white head. Aroma is softly sweet with a slight chocolate touch. Low to medium carbonation. Flavour is soft, not particularly powerful, subdued chocolate. A little boring.

A Mes rate: Bottle at the Rake.
Semi translucent red brown with a good beige head. Lots of earthy malt with a bit of chocolate. Not much happening. Slight hops on the finish but pretty bland all round. Thin palate rounds it off suitably.

Dark brown coior with a grainy off white thin head. Roasted malt is predominantly detected. Full bodied and too much carbonation. Roasted malt and some coffee flavors. Nothing great, not bad. Sour medium finish.

Pours a thin dark brown with a practically non-existent head. Not much aroma here - a bit of sour licorice and roasty malts, but not much else. The licorice comes through in the taste as well, as does the roasted malt flavor. The palate is thin to the point of detracting from the overall experience. Overall there is nothing really offensive about this beer, it’s pretty good, but there is nothing remarkable about it.

Bottled. Clear redbrown color, short off-white head. Soft aroma of roasted malt, some coffee. Malty aroma, some chocolat and coffee, though very soft. Slight bitter. Not bad, but quite boring.
