The Duck-Rabbit Milk Stout

Thanks to DrBayern for this one - Deep dark brown/black pour with a big lasting puffy tan head on it. Sweet, creamy milky roasted malt smell to it. Almost milk chocolate like. Taste was roasty, less sweet than expected, with a nice light roasty bitterness to it. A bit more carbonated than ideal in my bottle, especially for a stout, but I see the last couple raters didn’t have the same experience. I’d prefer a touch less carbonation and a tad more sweetness, however it is still a fine milk stout and one worth trying.

Dark brown with a tan head. Mild aroma of roasted malt, chocolate, and coffee. Flavor adds sweetness and nuttiness. Medium body, balanced carbonation. Decent brew, very drinkable.

Pours a pitch black color with a ring of light brown lace. Good aroma of chocolate and roasted malt with a lactic presence. Very pleasant lactic flavor with roasted malt and chocolate, it finishes with bitterness. The body is light to medium with a creamy texture and gentle carbonation. Good stuff.

Dark brown amber color from bottle. Nice puffy white head. Sweet creamy malt aroma. Caramelly, chocolate, roasted malt. Some oak or woodiness. background of hops taste. As it warms, off mouthfeel, not so easy going down.

Bottle, best before 10/07. Pours a dark brown with a very small light brown head that diminishes to a ring. Aroma is primarily roasted. Flavor is roasted chocolate, coffee. Finish/aftertaste is a bit different and took me by surprise when I first had this. Might be the lactose/milk sugar. Took some getting used to, but I like it. Medium body with little carbonation. I do prefer their Porter, but this is a solid sweet stout.

Aroma smells of more alcohol than is present., nothing else is distinguishable except maybe prunes. Deep dark ruby brown color with an extremely thick creamy tan head. Balanced chocolate malt and hop flavor. Unfortunately, it is dominated by the presence of alcohol. Coffee, raisin, and hop finish.. Unusually thin body for a stout. One of my lower rated stouts.

Poured from bottle. Aroma full of malt. Took time to pour, very foamy, but worth the wait. Nutty, roasty and sweet, with some hop and banana and vanilla in there as well. Deep, full feel. Good finish. Quite outstanding.

picking up some milk chocolate in the aroma, rich sweet cream character along with the roasted flavor, chocolate gets richer and richer, this is the award winning beer
