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.

I love this porter. This is my current bread & butter beer that I’ll have day in and day out. The aroma and the flavor are malty and balanced with enough bitterness to make this a smooth, easily drinkable beer to accompany a strongly flavored dinner. This shall find a place in my refrigerator for a long time.

A good, but not exceptional porter that I sampled at the Wild Goose brewery in Frederick. The aroma was malty, with some roasty chocolate and caramel tones, but not well defined. It had a dark color, not quite black, with a small light tan head. The taste was mostly sweet and malty, with a touch of ale-like hop bitterness. Mostly dry and a touch thin on the palate, with a light mouthfeel and low to average carbonation. A decent porter beer, but completely overwhelmed compared to the Flying Dog Imperial Porter I also had.

Had this beer on 4/10/1999. Color is very dark deep brown, with good carbonation and head. Aroma is a rich sweet malt and hop scent. Taste is rich and strong. It starts with a medium body that goes down heavy with a rich malt feel. Finish is a somewhat sharp sweet malt taste that is the norm for a Scottish Ale, followed by a nice hop bitterness and light hop flavor. This is a good porter with nice Scottish attributes.

Rich malt base characterized by a roasted, dark chocolate, earthy essense. Pretty dry witha nice malty finish. Very much Middle-of-the-Road.

Poured from a bottle. Pours a deep brown with ruby highlights and a thin tan head. Aroma of malts and dark fruits. Flavor of malts with undertones of fruit and licorice with a dry finish. Decent, but a bit thin.

350 ml bottle. Black with a fizzy white head. Fruity, berry aroma with hints of chocolate and roastiness. Watery palate. Chocolate covered fruit taste with some roasty notes but overall taste is not as robust as I wanted.

Poured very dark with a thick head. Nice malty aroma of licorice and molasses. Taste was a very pleasant rich malt. The flavor was nicely balanced and the malt wasn’t overwhelming or too sweet. Very smooth and clean finish. Underrated by reviewers.
