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.

THE BEER IS REFRESHING. as porters now go it is light in body. the flavors are of licorice and chocolate. these flavors are recessed and seem washed out some. there is really no smokey scottish flavor essence here. appropriate since this appears to be a schwartzbier. i would like to see this brew tweaked a little since it surely has potential.

12 oz. bottle served cold. pours dark brown with a tan-colored head. sweet aroma featured hints of chocolate. the flavor was roasted malts and maybe a hint of coffee. a pretty good beer, but certainly not the best flying dog has to offer.

The best porter I have ever had. Very carbonated with good healthy head. Rich dark color. Delish!!!

(Bottle) Pours a dark brown color with a small tan head. Aroma of molasses, caramel and smooth spices. Taste is similar, with some cocoa and other dark malty notes. Average mouthfeel, and good lacing. Could have had a fuller palate, but otherwise a pretty good beer.

Something about this beer rubbed me the wrong way. The licorice and spearmint vegetal note just throws this off.
