Commercial Description:
A traditional full-bodied stout brewed with lactose (milk sugar). The subtle sweetness imparted by the lactose balances the sharpness of the highly roasted grains which give this delicious beer its black color.

I was surprised to find that I never got around to rating this one. Pours out a deep brown, almost black with a decent brown head that bubbled up quickly but then dissapeared. Aroma was lightly sweet but also sort of tart smelling. I don’t know what it is about Duck Rabbit beers but they all have this. Taste is rich chocolate and nutty with a thicker mouthfeel to it. Not a bad stout but certainly not the best either. Fairly dry finish.

Poured to a dark brown with hints of red and a nice, thick brownish head that lingered well and left good lacing. Aroma was a sweet, malty milk chocolate with a slight side of roasted nuts. Mouthfeel was smooth and full, ahnd the taste foloowed suit with the nose. Finish was long, and as the beer warmed, an amount of alcohol crept ito both the nose and taste that surprised me for a beer with only 5.7 %. I did not like previous Milk Stouts I’ve had, but Duck-Rabbit did the style proud with this one.

12 oz. bottle from Suttree. Pour is deep brown with ruby highlights and a nice looking 3 inch khaki head. Really good retention. Aroma of some nutty (almost almondy) malts and tobacco or smoke. Taste reveals some milk sourness, along with the nutty-roasted malt. Some of the woody smoke tobacco comes through in the flavor, causing it to be very dry. Unique stout.

12oz bottle via trade bonus with Jmichael. thanks Jon. Pours Black with a 3 finger creamy tan head. Aroma is sweet but faint. Taste takes a little while to settle through the foam, chocolate notes, and some sweet sugary feeling. Pretty nice overall.

Now this is a milk stout! Awesome beer courtesy my Secret Santa. Aroma was great...sweet chocolate all the way. Pour was a nice dark brown with a one finger tan head. Taste was strong...nice milk and chocolate combination with a sweet cream aftertaste. Nice carbonation carries this beer which I find missing in a lot of stouts. Wish I could get Duck Rabbit in PA.

GABF. Sweet aromas. Some chocolate flavors, but just a bit watery on the finish. I felt like I had missed something. So I tried it again. Still wasn’t there.

Bottle. Poured thin, didn’t give an impression of a stout. Creamy, yes, but with an utterly sour taste. Judging by the other reviews, I should try it again... perhaps it was a bad experience.

Bit of a tangy stout. Creamy Chocolate and hops.. As one reviewer said, a bit of a sour taste.
