The Duck-Rabbit Milk Stout

Brewed by The Duck-Rabbit Craft Brewery
Style: Sweet Stout
Farmville, North Carolina USA

Thanks to Suttree for sending this one my way in a recent trade. Pours a deep amber with a large tannish head and pretty good carbonation. Aroma and flavor is roasted malts, light smoke, chocolate cream, bitter nuts. Hints of tartness in the finish. Quite nice overall. Thanks again Phil.

thanks ucusty for the bottle...pours a thin reddish black...like doctor pepper...aromas of wood/smoke, roast and fresh cream. flavor is kinda like root beer but burnt and slightly bitter. when it warms up the chocolate comes out along with the creamy mouth feel...

Pours a black cola with a medium light brown head. Aroma of roasted malts and creamy chocolate. Taste is smooth and creamy with a roasted malty backbone and chocolate flavor. Very nice.

Bottle thanks to Turdferguson - Nice blackish pour with a heavy tannish head. Aroma has some nice roasted malts with a creamy-chocolate essence detectable. Taste is roasty and chocolatey, with alot of milky flavor and feel. A bit thin and less captavating than their porter, which is a much better year-round offering from DR. Solid stout.

Poured kind of thin. Had a great initial roasty flavor, with sweetness, pretty clean finish, almost felt like something was lacking there. not very bitter. Enjoyable.

Pours black opaque into the glass with a huge "4+"-finger head, tan and reminiscent of chocolate mousse. The retention is decent, and leaves a thick sticky lace. The nose contains some chocolate milk, roasted grains and slight (ever so...) vinous notes. Sweet and toasted chocolates, roasts and tiny bitters (which add character to the finish). The body is medium, the mouthfeel smooth and creamy. This is a very nice sweet stout. Another great dark offering from the Duck-Rabbit brewery.

12 ounce bottle given to me by my coworker Freida from her last trip down home -- thanks Freida! -- and served at cellar temperature from a Corsendonk glass. Beautiful creamy fine-bubbled dark tan head tops the jet, nearly opaque body, decaying slowly and evenly and leaving chunky lacing....aroma of milk chocolate and light roast, not overly sweet nor overly exciting, a bit of licorice perhaps....body is evenly balanced between sweet light chocolate and moderate to dark roasty grains, from the beginning to the finish, a bit of milky-creamy character, a touch of dark berries, very smooth, very quaffable, but a touch boring perhaps....ends just as sweet as it begins. A nice beer, but a little underwhelming for me -- high expectations and all.

Bottle courtesy of pantanap (thanks!). Dark brown/blaqck with large foamy tan head. Aroma is very pronounced in this one, definitely get the lacto-smell (at least that’s what I think I smell), along with roasted malts. Taste brings more of the same, with some sweet chocolate flavor, which then leads to a slight coffee taste. This is only my second milk stout, but there’s something about the lactose addition that doesn’t do too much for me. Get some coffee/chocolate bitterness in the finish as well. This was certainly an easy drinker for a hot summer evening.
