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.

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.

Bottle. Pours deep reddish brown coloured with a small dense and creamy light brown head. Aromas of roasted malt, caramel, licorice and nuts. Flavours of sweet malt, caramel, hops and coffee. Nice and very drinkable brew.

355 ml bottle. Dark reddish brown colour, thin light brown head. Sweet, roasted malty aroma with a hint of liquorice. The flavour is roasted, a little dry, with some fruity and chocolate notes. Dryish, mildly bitter finish.

Colabrown beer with medium beige head. Aroma is roasted, some syrup-like sweetness and some chalk and liquirice. Flavour is also roasted, dry and quite simple. Easy and balanced to drink with nice carbonation. Good, roasted beer, but still I wanted something more, because Road Dog is too balanced and there are nothing thrilling: thus not bad beer.
