Flying Dog Road Dog Scottish Porter

Pours good copper brown with light tan head that doesn’t stick around. The aroma is interesting, almost like car dealer coffee you drink while waiting to pay for a too-expensive repair. That is good, only because it gets your mind off what’s about to happen-sort of like a last meal it seems. This beer tastes decent and has even a better aftertaste. Not bad for the "dawg."

This beer has a nice dark appearance. It has a nice thin white head on top that fades away rather quickly. The appearance is nice, but it seems to pour rather thin. For a porter I would expect something thicker, but looks can be deceiving. The beer has a very weak aroma. It smells of coffee, but only a little. A malty aroma is obvious, but again it is rather weak. The aroma is not impressive to me. The flavor is decent. You can taste the coffee, and tha malts. The presence of chocolate is also in the beer. If the brewer would have just made the beer a bit thicker, meaning adding more malts, and stepping up the already present flavors, this beer would be awesome. I like that range of flavors, but the palate is so thin it doesn’t allow for the flavors to stick to your mouth so you can taste them. Wish it were thicker, but overall, decent brew.

Carmel chocolate coffee notes in aroma. Near black in appearance with 1/4 in head. Malty with a light bitter kick. A second wave of flavor hits you after downing this one. Little acidic bite in the end. Love the lable. Not a bad doggie.

dark brown in color with a beige head that disappears quickly. Malt aroma with a slight nutty smell. Easy on the palate. roasted malt taste that is slightly sweet folowed by a very mild alcohol after taste. Too weak of a beer to be called a porter.

This dark brown ale poured with a thin beige head and a malty aroma. There is a roasted malt flavor that is way too thin for a porter.

Lively and light, good on its own. Not too much flavor or taste to remember. Would drink to get drunk in a bar somewhere but imho not the beer to taste and enjoy slowly.

Sample @ Hallandale beer fest (bottle). Warm dark brown color with white foam. Average bland smell. Flavors are smooth rich roasted malt but with a thin palate that goes down easy.

bottled, malty beer with a nice chocolate taste, mild aftertaste, i LOVE this beer!
