Description
Flying Dog Brewery is a craft brewery located in Frederick, Maryland. It was founded in 1990 as a brewpub in Aspen, Colarado by George Stranahan and Richard McIntyre. Demand for Flying Dog beers quickly grew beyond the brewpub's capacity. In 1994, the company opened a 30-barrel brewery (Broadway Brewing Company) in Denver. Looking to expand again in 2006, Flying Dog purchased Frederick Brewing Company in Frederick, Maryland and began producing beer in both Maryland and Colorado. In December 2007, Flying Dog announced that it was closing the Denver brewery and would solely produce beer in its Frederick facility.

Bottle at home. Pours jet black with thin beige head. Nose is roasted and earthy notes, coffee and a faint spicy touch. In taste it's basically the same, roasted and earthy, with a dry and quite thin texture. Closes with medium roated finish and has average carbo. Bit of a meh.

Bottle shared at work. Copperish golden pour, white head. Nose is resin, honey, biscuits, slightly oxidized. Taste is moderately bitter with a sweet touch, grass, tons of resinous notes and honey, oxidization also appears. It has a surprisingly big body, and light to mid carbonation.
