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.

355ml Bottle - Dark brown, with some red tinges. Malty aroma with hints of cola, caramel and some slightly fruity hints. Malty and fruity taste with raisins and some hints of roasted coffee. Slightly thin and lacking body. A bit of a disappointment.

Not bad, especially from a mix pack. When you get 12 beers for $16 bucks, you don’t expect to be blown away. A drinkable, lighter porter with decent colour, aroma, and flavour.

Pours deep mahogany into a Shaker. Tan head quickly recedes to nothing. Sweet, smokey chocolate aromas. Dry and astringent upfront turning malty sweet and back to a dry, lasting chocolate syrup finish.

Pours a dark dark amber brown with a thin white head. Not much depth to the taste, but not a bad beer.

Dark amber colored beer beneath an off white head that is thin, leaves quickly and leaves very little lacing. Weak malty aroma with some fruit and other sweet notes coming through. Flavor was a thin malty flavor, caramel and some coffee. if it were any sweeter it would remind me of flat coke. Light body with a slight bitterness to it and some carbonation. Not bad really, just wasted potential.

Bottle: Pours a reddish amber with a tannish in-color head with very little lacing. Smells fruity with roasted malts aroma. Taste is more roasted malt with a bit of bitterness. Not the best porter, to say, but a good brew.

12 oz. bottle. Pours a deep reddish brown with very little head. The nose has hints of raisins, alcohol, and a certain wine note. Smooth on the roof of the mouth, but prickly on the tongue. It has a certain lingering richness to the mouthfeel. The palate seems somewhat elusive. Light roasted notes in the background. A sort of resin note as well. The hops seem to add an overall bitterness that dominates your palate. The flavor definitely seems to be lacking in this one. Some earthiness towards the end. This one doesn’t do much for me at all.
