Malt forward aroma with some off-putting aromas, like spilled stale beer. Dark and thick with a thick dense creamy sandy head. Thinner than expected with some almond and caramel in the malt, but metallic notes too. Meh.

I do love me some Turbodog, and I have for quite a few years. Only just now getting around to reviewing it. <br /><br /> And, only recently have I discovered a secret: drink it close to room (or at least cellar) temperature -- it comes alive! <br /><br /> Bottle, poured into an oversize wine goblet. <br /><br /> Appearance: Dark, brooding, yet inviting. Crassly put, like Coca-Cola. More elegantly, like a russet madeira. <br /><br /> Aroma: Those dry hops are nice! On the nose, a lot of resin, molasses, pipe tobacco, leather, and wet grass. Shades of a weak barleywine, almost. <br /><br /> Taste: Not as poweful as the nose, but not too far behind. Toasty malt, chocolate, coffee notes, molasses, and an American hop finish. <br /><br /> Palate: A bit of a fizzy zing, but quite a bit of oil as well. <br /><br /> Overall: If they were to ever make a souped-up version of this ale and call it an Old Ale or a Barleywine, I’d be over the moon. Turbodog is great, though. Surprisingly easy-drinking for its heaviness and its strength. Dynamite with a range of foods, too, everything from oven-roasted eggplant to white chocolate challah bread pudding.

Poured from a bottle. Dark Brown with a large creamy head. Flavor is a nice mixture of sweet chocalate and bitter hops. Pretty good.

This ale poured a very deep brown colour with a nice creamy, tan coloured head. Not much in the scent dept. Scents include brown sugar, caramel and an earthy note. First taste was smooth with flavours of cramel and dark malt. Finish was very malty and the palate very slightly bitter with a small amount of hopp flavour. Not bad.

Draft at Cajun Yard Dogs. Not a bad beer at all. Dark, with hints of chocolate and a nice palate. Reminds me of a stout.
