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.

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.

12 oz. bottle. Pours a very dark brown almost black color with a large tan head that diminishes quickly. The aroma is sweet chocolate and roasted malt. The flavor has a solid roasted malt presence with chocolate and cocoa. The lactose present causes this to be sweet. A little bit of bitterness shows up more in the finish. The mouthfeel is medium. This was a decent find in Myrtle Beach which in past years had been a beer wasteland.

Pours a nice jet black with minimal head. Sweet aroma with hops, and chocolate. Nice combination of hops, lactose, and chocolate on the palate. Best milk stout I’ve ever had. Thanks to richlikebeer.

Thanks to brewblackhole. Dark color. Smell of chocolate, malt, strawberries, cherries, cinnamon, caramel, minor hops and some roasted coffee. Taste of roasted coffee, malt, chocolate, hops, cinnamon, fruit, brown sugar and caramel. Nice hop bitterness at the end with a chocolate dipped strawberry mixed in.
