Mar 21, 2008 12 oz bottle from ucusty, thanks Dave. Pours a pitch black with a small tight coccoa colored head. I was expecting your run of the mill burnt roasted aroma but was nicely suprised with lots of sweetness. Aroma of dark fruit, fresh tobacco, rum and chocolate coverd cherry liquour candy. Oily slick body with very light carbonation. Flavor is sweet like the aroma with lots of cherry, chocolate and tobacco. Once again the Duck-Rabbit is quacktastic.

Mar 18, 2008 From a 12-oz. bottle--Poured a thin black body with a small almost non-existent head. Briny, sweet, and slightly metallic. Very bright and somewhat true to style. Quite interesting, though I think the hype let me down a little. This beer still ruled!

Mar 17, 2008 Bottle from DMRz, thanks!!! Mahogony in color this poured almost no head and what it did faded quickly. There were aromas of chocolate, black licorice, fig, rock candy and roasted malts. In the mouth it was concentrated with nice acidity running throughout and flavors of chocolate, fig and smoke lingering at the end. Very balanced this was quite engaging right from the start.

Mar 15, 2008 bottle. outstanding... it actually borderlines on being an impy stout... dark as night... little head. aromas of liquorice, chocolate and roasted malts. great palate.... the alcohol and liquorice hits the front of the tongue, while the sides are soft with chocolate and malts... nice strong finish... great beer!

Mar 15, 2008 Bottle courtesy of drewbeerme. I drank this one at close to room temp. Will try again cooled and may re-rate if waranted. Pours black with a minimal tan head. Nose is coffee, roasty malts, and dark chocolate. Palate has fruity aspects like a Belgian, with roasted malt, milk chocolate and caramel. Creamy mouth feel with a dry, slightly bitter aftertaste.

Pours a dark black, coarse tan head. Big tar and chocolate aroma, some vinous notes; flavors of chocolate, tobacco, teriyaki, spice, (off-tasting) raisins. Unfortunately this one is marred by the sour milk that kp and others have noted.
Nice mouthfeel, but there’s a mix of spice and sour milk on the finish that leaves me rather tired of the beer before my glass is empty. Something of a letdown.

Mar 6, 2008 Black pour, small brown head. Flavor is pretty sugary sweet with lots of dark chocolate, licorice and caramel. Roasted malt and some coffee in the finish. Still very sweet lots of sugar in this one with a semi hoppy aftertaste. Medium bodied with a cloying sweetness. Not bad but not up to the hype.
