The Duck-Rabbit Rabid Braggot

Carolina Crew Gathering Greenville, NC. Thanks to Frumpty, facto, and of course Paul for this one. Dark viscous pour. Big honey aroma. Big and malty with notes of roast, cinnamon, and chocolate. Sweet honey finish. A touch too sweet for me, but what the hell do I know?

Tasted at the Carolina Crew gathering, Greenville - thanks to Ryan and Facto for sharing! Dark, somewhat oily pour with an almost serene stillness to it. The nose is pretty lovely, combining the darker qualities of the RIS - bitter choc and roasted malts - with the truly endless honey character of this brew. That supple sweetness just goes on forever. In fact, as impressive as I found it, this was almost too sugary for me, though I did like the note of cinnamon that caps it off.

(Special hand-bottle sample from the brewers @ ACBF) Pours a black body with a small creamy beige head. Aroma of honey, molasses, roasted malt, and chocolate. Flavor of roasted malt, honey, and light coffee with a nice warming effect from the alcohol. Very interesting creation! Thanks Ryan and Matt!

I tried this at the Blues and Brews Festival. It was very dark with an thin creamy, off-white head. The aroma was very strong honey, coffee, molasses, sweet malt, and alcohol. The flavor was similarly sweet honey and alcohol. The palate was very thick-bodied. The finish was warm and sweet.
