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.

Ah, this is not what a scottish porter should taste like. Watery, bland, no complexity, just blah. Not enough malts or somthing?

[550-20070821] 355mL (10 mths). Muted woody malt aroma with medium alcohol. Dark brown body with a quick foamy light tan head. Dark malt flavour has some woody nut notes and a bitter finish. Medium-full body. A tasty porter.

Dark brown, very little head, what is there is beige...aroma is distinctively malty with some bitter chocolate notes, body has a nice effervescence for a porter, very fine bubbles, toasty flavor with bitter coffee beans, a nice brew...leaves a nice finish in the mouth, and some creaminess on the taste buds

malts and chocolate, but not too flavorful, i wouldve wished it to be a little stronger... decent middle-of-the-pack porter as you would expect from flying dog

Pours a dark brown, almost black, with just a slight tan head. The aroma is of dark chocolate with a slight tinge of smoke. The taste is of roasted malts and chocolate with a nice smoky roastiness at the end. Not too bad, probably like it better when it is not 95 degrees outside.

12 oz bottle. Pours a dark brown with a skimpy meager tan head. Aroma was burnt toast and coffee. Flavor was similar to aroma with a bit of chocolate and some thrown in. Hoppiness was understated. Mouth-feel was watery with a film. Finish is sweet and short. An acceptable session ale.
