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.

Dark-Reddish with frothy head. Carmel and malt roast aromas. Carmel malt, mild hop balance. Smooth and well balanced.

This was a nice porter, but nothing special. It isn’t any maltier than numerous other porters that I’ve had. And the tastes of chocolate and coffee that one expects in a porter are present in abundance.

12oz bottle poured in a tulip glass. FDRDSP pours black as ink with a piddley little head. The aroma heavy on the malt and sweet liquor. Chocolate and butterscotch can be detected as well. This is a very aromatic beer. The body is surprisingly carbonated and light. The taste is a complete surprise as well. The first thing you taste is a sourness that made me initially think I got a bad beer. After that quick jolt comes a harsh baker’s chocolate flavor tempered with malt. I think this beer misses its potential.

Dark, clear ruby color shows from light shining through. Appears brown from a distance with a fizzy brown head that rapidly disappears. The body is ok, but a little weak for a porter. A decent roasted flavor does come through making it worthwile.

Headless dark pour. Chocolate aroma. Flavor is chocolate bitterness. There is another note here which I wouldn’t necessarily call licorice (like in the commercial description) as I know it, however I can’t think of a better word to describe it. Otherwise fairly average.

From a bottle. Dark pour that looks nice but that is about all the excitement I got out of it.

Nice beer. Not the most astounding beer ever made, but enjoyable, nice pour, nice color and aroma. Good drink. Relaxing on a cold night.
