The Duck-Rabbit Milk Stout

courtesy of mcbackus. beautiful color with a light head. wonderful roastiness overpowers lactose. higher carbonation than most stouts, but lends to the mouthfeel. tastes like a malt ball with dark chocolate. Probably one of the best milk stouts I have had recently.

Dark brown pour with an attractive khaki head and lots of lacing. Aroma of milk chocolate and herbal hops. Taste has a ton of milk chocolate sweetness, edged by a pleasant herbal and grassy hop bitterness. Nicely done.

Bottle. Poured a dark brown/black/red color with a two finger brown head. Aroma of roasted malt and coffee. Flavor is very creamy and milky, with coffee and roasty notes. Medium/full body with soft carbonation.

Bottle thanks to daknole, this beer has been on my want list forever, thanks man! Pours a wonderful dark color with some reddish light showing through. A large and creamy brown head. The aroma is full of roasted malts, coffee, milky notes, very decadent. The taste is awesome; initially a roasted malt and coffee combine with a near sour flavor, later a ton of sweet caramel, chocolate and coffee come in. Loads of milky sweet flavors, and a great full and creamy mouthfeel. This style, when done this well, I will always love.

A/A: Poured a pitch black w/ very thin burlap colored layer of foam. The bubbles dissipated quickly leaving on a few stragglers on the surface. Not much aroma coming off this one; some faint roasted malt & coffee with a faint lactic sharpness F/P: Very smooth and mellow, still strikes me as being similar to the last house stout I brewed w/ the chocolate malt addition (w/ some extra caramel & lactose added). Flavors of roasted grain, coffee, bittersweet chocolate & coca combined with the back end sweetness of the lactose then into the mild sharp sour lactic flavor revealed in the aroma. Moderate body and light-moderate carbonation. This milk stout has a nice composed feel to it, as the ingredients all blend well and yield a nice smooth beer.

Draught. Creamy lasting light brown head. Pitch black body. Choccolate coffee aroma and flavor. Low carbonation. Long aftertaste.

bottle: pours with a huge off white head with a dark chocolate brown body. aroma is lots of maple syrup, roast and milk chocolate, slight sweetness. flavour is very smooth chocolate with a slight roast that blaances nicely again slightly sweet. good version of the style.

Draught at GABF 2008. Dark brown coloured with a medium sized beige ehad. Roasted aroma of fruits, coffee and berries. Roasted flavour of fruits and coffee with notes of lactose. Roasted finish.
