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.

(Bottle) Pours a dark brown color with a small tan head. Aroma of molasses, caramel and smooth spices. Taste is similar, with some cocoa and other dark malty notes. Average mouthfeel, and good lacing. Could have had a fuller palate, but otherwise a pretty good beer.

Something about this beer rubbed me the wrong way. The licorice and spearmint vegetal note just throws this off.

This beer is far under rated. Great porter in a remarkably subtle way. The chocolate and nutty depth really shows while still remaining refreshing. There is a great scottish ale aftertaste that comes right at the end.

very dark brown with a thin dark tan head....malts and light aroma of dark bitter chocolate....head is gone in about 8 seconds....some carmel in the aroma...medium mouthfeel... nutty taste with some black jelly beans and roasted malts....finishes wirh a black coffee aftertaste... I enjoyed this brew...rating reflects me.....I think it is under rated.
