Flying Dog Road Dog Porter

Beer-a-Day #255Road Dog

GonzoFest today. More on that later. In the meantime…

Blessed by Hunter S. Thompson… Road Dog Porter was our first beer to be illustrated by Ralph Steadman. This is a dark, rich and malty beer, with hints of chocolate and licorice resulting from the use of four prized malts. We also defended Road Dog’s honor when the Colorado state liquor board tried to ban us from selling it because “Good Beer, No Shit” was on the label. It took 5 years, but we won.

Deep chocolate brown with a finger’s worth of tan head. Definitely some chocolate and licorice, with a bit of perfume. Deep, rich flavor. This is good stuff.
