Flying Dog Road Dog Scottish Porter

Brewed by Flying Dog Brewery
Style: Porter
Frederick, Maryland USA

Dark brown with hues and a tan disappearing head. Aroma is very weak, I can hardly notice a roasted note. The flavour is lovely roasted sweet, a bit fruity, with some coffee, cappuccino, and a bitter cocoa end.

Pours dark brown with reddish tint, with off white head that fades quickly. Some lacing on glass. Aroma is faint chocolate, mollasses and toffee. Very light on tongue not what you expected. Taste is simple goes away quickly. Ok brew

Aroma is of chocolate and maybe some moss. The flavor is not thin but it is also not very distinguishable. the palate is of faint roast malts. Ok beer. Nothing bad about but seems to just exist. Maybe was a bad bottle.

Medium-dark roasted malt profile is not deep enough to suit my tastes. A trace of chocolate comes through beside some phenols and tannins in the nose. Hops come through with surprising vigor and have a mild earthy aroma. Doesn’t have a real big aroma. Chocolate and licorice characters are there in the flavor. It avoids being too sweet or overly caramel, both to its favor. Has a very mellow, rounded malt quality. Not decidedly nutty, or bready; hard to define. Nothing stellar, but still, it’s tasty, easy on the palate, and quite drinkable for a porter.

Bottle. Medium head with medium duration. Color is dark brown. Aroma and taste are roast malt, some coffee and licorice as well. Rather mild.

appearance is nice, very dark amber with a one finger light brown head with some lacing that didn’t last..roasted coffee mild chocolate and some light cheerios taste...could be a good start for someone coming into porters and stouts to try first its definitely drinkable, but not one of the best porters out there but a tribute to Hunter S. ain’t bad...

Pours average dark brown with a small tan head. Aromas of chocolate, roast malts and hops. The flavor is sweet and semi rich with upfront roasted chocolate/roasted malts. Has a nice warm end that finishes clean with not much of an aftertaste. A decent porter but I’d rather go for their gonzo porter anyday.

Mild aroma of coffee, molasses and a bit of hop. Dry papery coffee flavor with a bit of charred wood. Pretty watery and weak. Not a very good porter at all.
