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.

Stale smell, malty but not sweet, a little sour. Appearance is a dark brown with a tan head, typical to the style. The flavor is malty, again not terribly sweet, a little bit of nuts. Not terrible. I’ve definitely had better porters though

12 oz bottle into pint glass. Nearly black good light tan head that lasted alright and left some lace. Nice roasted (almost smokey) smooth aroma. Flavor is a bit watery and very one dimensional - some roasted malt. Smooth medium body on palate. Overall: simple porter, not unique but highly drinkable and balanced.

For a porter, this seems quite light if not thin to me. More like a dunkel on very dark malts. But I guess I am an amateur, and I am not familiar with "Scottish Porters". Its not bad, but not quite my taste either.

Bottle. Pours an amber body with a white top. Malty and sweet, a light toffee flavor with hints of chocolate, and tart cherry. Decent beer.

Pours a deep ruby with a nice white head. Lots of malts on the nose. Roasted malts come through with the flavor as well as a touch of coffee. Finishes dry and clean. Pretty drinkable. Nice porter
