Flying Dog K-9 Cruiser

Brewed by Flying Dog Brewery
Style: English Strong Ale
Frederick, Maryland USA

Bottle poured a clear dark reddish brown with an amber head. Aromas of roasted malt, toffee, and orange. Palate was medium bodied and smooth. Flavors of roasted malt, dark bread and a bit of orange with a smooth, slightly bitter lingering finish.

12 oz. bottle. Brownish amber colour with a thin off-white head. Citrus, bready, and toffee aroma. Bread, toffee, orange and light alcohol flavours. A bit light in body but smooth.

Pours a ruby color with little bit of head. Smells of dark fruit and malt. Taste is a touch of chocolate on the initial taste followed by some dark fruit and caramel malt and finally a bit of floral hops. A solid brew.

Ewww.. fruity nose.. MMMM love it . I want to bathe in it. I will buy it again.

Bottle. Pours a beautiful dark ruby color with a think lasting head. Nose of fruit, possibly rasberries or cranberries with a slight nuttiness. Taste is smooth with malty overtones. Hop presence is lacking, but this really is a good beer from FD. Flying dog was the brewery that got me into the game long ago, glad to see that they can still put out a great winter brew. I really like this one.

12 bottle poured into a shaker. Pours a mahogany brown with a thin persistant head. It has a watered down malty smell. It has a taste reminicent of a well-crafted amber with an oatmeally finish. Very parculiar actually. There are very mild fuel tones and it’s a little bit sweet. It’s not bad but it would be better if the alcohol content were upped. For some reason I had this beer listed as a K9 Cruiser Attitude beer at 7.3% in my personal notes from last year.

Poured a deep reddish brown in the pint glass. Malty aroma that is reflected strongly in the roasted flavor (which I like). Lightly hopped. Very tasty and enjoyable.

Looks dark amber red. Smells of just a little bit of nuts, and breads. You can almost tell whats coming, just by the smell. Average carbonation, very malty, and smooth & oily palate. I find, maybe a little bit of a chocolate, roastiness. little hops present. I think the english strong ale title refers more to the maltiness than anything. Overall it’s really a great winter brew. One of the best FD brews.
