Feb 11, 2008 Gold @ GABF 0 This beer is phenomenal. Everyone raves about the Duck Rabbit Baltic Porter, but in my opinion this one smokes it. Rich and fullbodied, very robust, chocolate and roastiness. Some very much appreciated bitterness in the finish, but retaining balance. Creamy with just a touch of sweetness in the finish.

May 27, 2007 Updated: Jun 13, 2007On draft at a Charlotte Mellow Mushroom (now called Moondogs or something like that). Poured a dark brown/black; not all that much head. Aroma was slightly sweet, with roasted malt and dark chocolate. Flavor was much of the same with a good mouthfeel. Could have been creamier; but still, was really good.

May 10, 2007 draft. pretty darn close to jet black with a small head that quickly said goodbye. roasted malts with a sweet black cherry aroma in the background. wonderful roasted flavors comingling with dark chocolate and a some light cherry syrup. evrything was balanced nicely as nothing stood out and overpowered the other. bitterness in th end was very even with just enough lasting power to not disrupt you. great baltic porter. at 9% its crazy cause you defintaley dont taste it. foothills has been very impressive.

Nov 19, 2006 Draught at Tyler’s in Carrboro, NC. Nose was dark roasted malts, semi-sweet chocolate, slight coffee grounds. Flavor is very roasty with hunks of bitter chocolate lingering on the palate along with slight hops. Good, but missing the creamy factor that I loved so much about the Duck Rabbit interpretation. Alcohol well hidden is a plus. Still, another great BP from NC. Foothils is a very impressive up and coming brewing. Maybe someday Winston Salem will be known for beer instead of tobacco...but i doubt it.
