Review - Flying Dog Brewery's Road Dog Porter
"Road Dog Porter is the original gonzo beer, illustrated by Ralph Steadman and blessed by Hunter S. Thompson. You can read about why this beer was banned by the authorities and the subsequent legal scrap on our Flying Dog story page.
Road Dog Porter is a rich, malty beer with hints of chocolate and licorice resulting from the use of four prized malts." -- Flying Dog Brewery
This is not a very heady beer. The beer pours a very dark color with no translucence. There are subtle hints of coal, with a very smooth aftertaste.
May 2 - The Scottish Porter pours a dark brown body with a light brown, fizzy head. Murky body. Aroma's are of cookie malts and sugar. Initial taste is of bitter coffee, but evens out to a smooth finish. Mouthfeel is oily with a coal taste, lively carbonation.
