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.

[Stockholm Beer Festival 2005] A clear brown beer with a thin brown head. The aroma is sweet roasted with slight acidic hints. The flavor is sweet roasted, combined with notes of wood and nutmeg, on a slightly malty back ground. I find this closer to a Brown Ale, than a Porter.

Bottled. Very dark ruby, near black. Firm head. Vinous citrusy aroma. Medium sweet. Clean, but not hard. Roasty. salty finish with pleasant bitterness.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Pours a beautiful, clear reddish mahogany with a small, off-white head. Roasted, malty nose. Medium body with plenty of delicate, roasted malt - almost a bit vinous, port-like. A wee, burned edge. More a Scottish Ale than a Porter really. Lovely. 150306

Mahogany colour; aroma of smoke, cascades, hint of iron; thin body - a little acidic even; metallic, mellowed malts (a little toasted caramel, whole grain bread), cascades...what precisely is the brewer trying to get at here?

12 fl oz bottle. Pours black with a huge and creamy light tan head. Cornish and caramel malt aroma. Flavour is mildly roasted, vague berry fruity note and a mild caramel flavour. Something for a porter - not with flaws - it is just not interesting. Mild roasted finish with more toasted caramel flavours.
