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.

Smooth low carbonated Porter that I simply can’t detected all of the hinted licorice and ’peaty malt’ that others note. To me, it’s simply a drinkable American porter that can be consumed again at leisure.

Dark with ruby highlights with a dense white head. Aroma is of roasted coffee while flavor is caramel/coffee. Minimal hop bitterness with a nice pleasant mouthfeel.

Bottle. Pours dark brown with a big beige head. Malty , slightly roasted aroma. Mildly roasted flavours teaming up with a bit of nuts and molasses. Overall quite malty impression. Rather good.

clear very dark brown. dark inviting malty aroma, though from the description, i was expecting some peat. i really dig the flavor here, there’s full roast, lighter body, nutty character and a drawn out hopped finish. great balance between dark roast without a heavy body.

Bottle. Pours a clear reddish brown color with a small off-white head. Roasted malty coffee aroma with some hints of caramel. Sweet roasted malty chocolate and caramel flavor with some hints of licorice. Sweetish malty caramel finish with some hints of chocolate in the aftertaste.
