The Duck-Rabbit Rabid Duck Russian Imperial Stout

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

Pours a pitch black with a medium brown head. Aroma of roasted coffee malts, dark chocolate and hints of nuts. Taste is full of roasted coffee malts, dark bitter chocolate with a hint of tangy orange. Very good.

(Not sure who to thank! Irishboy perhaps!) Brown head, Black body, cherry-nut chocolate aroma. Sticky mouthfeel withand orange zest flavour and a creamy smoke finish, lovely!

A dusty, chocolate, roasted aroma with a touch of smoke. Taste is deep caramel, dark chocolate, roasted grains, tartness, and alcohol with a harsh sharpness at the end. The perceived bitterness of this beer is dulled by that harshness of alcohol, but comes back as the alcohol fades. A very strong tasting beer, but I have had bigger beers hide the alcohol better. Very well rounded and yummy except for that harsh alcoholic note. Very solid and respectable beer.

This stout is BLACK, I mean like black as night. Nice work here, the flavor had a little tart to it which I wasn’t crazy about... but overall a very enjoyable brew.

Dark, black color. Smell of malt, hops, caramel, cherries, chocolate cake, berries, smoke, brown sugar, black licorice and some roasted coffee. Taste of roasted coffee, hops, malt, sugar, berries, alcohol, smoke, chocolate, caramel/toffee, nuts and fruit. Very dry at the end. Tons of alcohol taste that actualy burns as it goes down at first. Could have masked the high alcohol content a little more but still very enjoyable.

You cannot see through this beer. Strong scent of alcohol. Molasses, roasted, and smoke flavor. An extremely bitter and dry beer. Alcohol is very present. This will cleanse your mouth, like stripping your teeth. :) So far I think their regular beers have been more impressive. *edit - this is much easier to drink out of the bottle.

(12oz bottle) Sampled at the Post-Great Canadian Beer Festival 2007 in Victoria on September 8th, 2007. Trade courtesy of Ungsmash. Deep brown frothy head with opaque body. Nose of strong alcohol, brown sugar and toffee. Strong molasses and soya sauce. Excellent beverage.

355 ml. Opaque black with a huge dark brown sugar head that lasts forever and leaves crusty lace everywhere. Big smoky coffee, dark fruit, molasses and cocoa nose. Flavor is initially anise, big dark chocolate-flavored molasses and dark fruit, turns to coffee, burnt toffee, soy sauce, earthy and charred wood, just the right touch of alcohol (not much) , and a slight lactose-metallic hop twang. Large and syrupy smooth body has a nice tongue tingle all the way through. Lots of balanced and excellent flavors; one of the best desserts you’ll ever find!
