Beer Review of the Week: Flying Dog Road Dog Scottish Porter

The other night my wife and I had dinner with our friends and my friend pulled out a couple of Flying Dog Breweries Road Dog Porters. I really liked this beer because of its unique flavor; I loved the bitter-sweet flavor of this porter. Road Dog has a very dark malt color, which comes from the Black malt, the hops flavor in this beer is understated with the chocolate and coffee notes that give beer a really interesting mellow beer. This would be an excellent beer to pair up with a steak or other grilled red meat.
