BückDich (4785), McCall, Idaho, USA Feb 7, 2008 Bottle: Pours a black color, thin head with no lacing. The nose is bright with mocha and creamy milk chocolate notes, fairly sweet, lightly hopped. The flavor is nice and balanced though, the hops backup the rest with a sweet lactose flavor, rich roasty grains and a fairly zesty finish. Excellent milk stout, I was surprised. Paired well with tequila this night. jmuhops (663), Winchester, Virginia, USA Feb 7, 2008 Pours black with a large off-white head. Roasted coffee aroma with some lactose and a hint of plastic-y smoke. Very well-balanced flavor; the commercial description is dead on. The finish is bitter espresso. Good stuff, if a little overcarbonated. mar (1740), Rowlett, Texas, USA Feb 6, 2008 black pour with a thick caramel head that dies down to a nice layer of creamy froth. huge creamy, sweet malt smell and coffee. perfect thickness and a great taste of roasted malts and sugar. this is my first duck rabbit beer and it’s definitely not going to be my last. vadavid (131), Fredericksburg, Virginia, USA Feb 4, 2008 Pours dark brown with reddish hints. Thin head. Aroma is roasted malt, sweet, with a touch of smoke. Pleasing expresso, roasted malt flavor. A touch of lactose tartness balances the flavor. Thick mouthfeel. One of the better Milk / Sweet stouts from a brewery that does dark beer well. BuckeyeBoy (1639), Boise, Idaho, USA Jan 28, 2008 12oz Bottle Brougth back from NC thanks to a good beer mule. Pours out a dark clear brown topped with a sandy head. A nice sweet aroma of bitter chocolate and a little smoke. Tast of light sweetness some good roast malt. Not as thick as I was thinking it would have been. Overall pretty tasty. hophead75 (1945), Boonton, New Jersey, USA Jan 27, 2008 12 oz bottle from Emacgee. Dark brown in color with alot of ruby highlights- appearance seems more in line with a porter than stout. Aroma is chocolate, dark fruit, specifically raisin and a touch of plum, light roast. Taste is moderately roasty up front, giving way to light chocolate, dark fruit, and light touches of lactose. medium bodied. Pretty nice. Quirkmeister (7), North Carolina, USA does not count Jan 24, 2008 Found this at a beer fest in NC. Worthy a look if you like stouts. Nice color, pours well. Easy on the palate. TopherDrinks (96), Poughkeepsie, New York, USA Jan 23, 2008 Bottle thanks to BigMilly8. Pours opaque brown but the glass is solid black with subtle red hues around the edges. Aromas of chocolate malt, lactose, roasted malt, smoked oak, and rye malt. Taste is sweet, sugary malt, and milk chocolate upfront, with heavy roast mid-palate with some toasted and smoked notes. Faint hints of dark fruit come and go so its hard to pinpoint. Some black coffee and a touch of bittering hops makes up the finish with a touch of lactose, more sugary sweetness, and milk chocolate. Mouth feel is strange as its creamy body clashes with sharp carbonation. Wish I had more.
