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.

Malt is the overpowering character in this beer. Beautiful dark brown with hints of red and a chocolate milk colored head with good retention. Dry malty flavor as opposed to the sweetness I am accustomed to. Not very heavy on the tongue and a little bit over-carbonated which is the only thing I can find wrong with this beer. Overall a fair Porter without the heaviness or sweetness that sets this style off for me.

A dark brown porter with a thick receeding moka head, big bubbled. A porter with distinct butterscotch notes, fruity and caramelly. In mouth, a light weigth, veering on a brown ale with buttery finale, with light vinous qualities, and honey, but rather short overall. Bought at CJs, Potsdam, Spring 2007.

Decent porter. Lots of roasted malt flavors, also some chocolate and caramel. Pretty light bodied. Easy to drink. Not bad.

Dark brown pour with some ruby highlights. Soft coffee notes with burnt dark malt flavor. An OK porter but nothing exceptional.

Dark brown with a tan head that doesn’t last long. Has a sweet almost fruity flavor with a burt overtone, not at all what I expected.

In short: Original fruity porter. Enjoyable.
How: Bottle, fresh
The look: Very dark brown body with a short-lived tan head
In long: Burnt toasts, molasses and black liquorice topped by an unexpected array of fruits (berries, tropical fruits and such). Pretty under-hopped. Feels somewhat full, sweet and sticky for such a small beer. Rather atypical for a porter but its originality is what I like about it. Nice original doggy, a golden retriever with a poodle haircut.

brown/reddish with slight brown head. aroma was raspberry chocolate, with a hint of coffee. medium body, not too carbonated, goes down smooth, with a bit of an after bite. not a bad beer, but not impressive. best of the flying dog so far, but only 3 in at time of rating...

Bottle poured into pint glass. Pours a very opaque brown colour with a tan head that dissolves into a film. Aroma is mostly alcohol with a hint of sweet chocolate. Slight coffee in the flavour. Average porter.
