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: Poured a dark brown almost redish color with a cream colored head that is slowly disappearing. First taste is pretty mild with a slight hint of hops as a finish.

Decent looking porter, with a handsome color and moderate head. Faint chocolate in the aroma, a bit more plus some roast in the taste. A bit thin and too hop-forward, but decent enough.

My first out of the variety pack! Pours dark brown with a nice full head. Tastes of faint chocolate but doesnt have the bite I wish it did.

12oz bottle. Aroma is hopps with a flower note that overpowers everything. Average sized off-white head that mostly diminished and left decent lace. Very dark brown hue. Flavor is sweet and roasty, much better than aroma. Palate is watery soft and light bodied. This porter sucks, have not been impressed with this brewery.

Really dark brown color with a tan head. Chocolate and coffee aroma... didn’t really get the abbey double smell that some people talked about. Thick enough body but still easy to drink and it definitely warms you up... I had it when I was really cold a few times. Not particularly complex, but what is there is good... with the roasted malts and molasses flavors.

Brown color, lingering amber head. Dark malt, iced tea, and apice aroma. Robust and tasty for this alcohol, with nice flavors of bitter chocolate, slight pepper spice, smoke, molassas, coffee. I’ve always found this a tasty, easy drinking brew.

Bottle@Home. Blackberries, blackcurrant and chocolate aroma. Very dark brown color, light brown head, fair lace. Very fruity, blackberries, red berries, some roastiness and bitterness in the finish. Sparkling with a dry finish. OK beer but more like a Abbey Dubbel with porter notes than really a porter.

Bottle. Pours dark brown. No head when it was poured. For a porter it was a little thick. Had some chocolate and and maybe a hint of brown sugar. Finish was slightly bitter due to some grass hops. Not the best flying dog but an enjoyable one.
