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. Pours a medium brown with very little head..Nose is of faint chocolate and a touch of dog poo. Not real anxious to drink this. Huh.....Some fruit background, some cocoa and light coffee up front..lightly floral as well. Im not getting a lot of licorice here..Some hops enter the picture in the finish. A bit watery, big carbonation. Not that good.

12oz bottle. Pours a nutty brownish color with almost no head. Nose is light chocolate with some dark roast hints and a light, almost nuttyness. Palate is fairly thin and smooth/clean. Flavors are light coffee with some nutty and chocolate notes.

Bottle poured into pint glass. Nice clear ruby-brown color. Thin head that disappears quickly. Aroma of malt with a touch of pear and rose. Good flavor, though not spectacular. Fairly hoppy for a porter, IMHO. Some malt there too, but not strong. Overall decent and pretty drinkable.

12 oz. Very deep brown color, tan head. Roasted malt and wood aroma. Smooth roasted flavor, dry finish. Medium-full body, medium-high carbonation. Not a bad porter at all, but doesn’t really stand out either.

Hint of red colour. Coffee aroma and flavour of roast meat. The barley might have been a bit over roasted, but not as burned as in some beers of this type.
