Commercial Description:
An American brown ale brewed with loads of hops from start to finish (it’s hoppy and beautifully bitter). Amarillo hops in the boil provide a spicy citrusy bitterness. Saaz dry hops in the fermentor provide a refined flowery aroma. These hops are supported by a grain bill of seven varieties of malt.

12oz bottle. Pours a slightly hazed medium amber with a faint reddish hue, a big beige head left some nice lacing. Nose holds some floral hops, chocolate and roasted malt. Flavor starts with some cocoa dust then finishes roasty and quite bitter, a good brown.

Brown ales are not supposed to taste like this one. Too hoppy and bitter. Change the name to ESB, would have been better. Part 4 of six on my SC nov 09 trip

Draft in Boone, NC. Pours a dark brown color with a small light brown head. Nose is chocolatey and roasty with a nice, dark fruit note almost. Maybe some dates or raisins. Palate is full and fluffy, like velvet. Flavor is light chocolate and roasted malt notes with the dark fruit mixed in.

A pretty fruity version of a brown with some nuttiness and a good malt body. Murky reddish brown color with a tan head that dissipates pretty quickly. Bittersweet sort of finish to it with a roasted coffee aspect mid palate. Aroma of slight cocoa and red fruit, some earthiness as well.

Pours reddish brown with a tall light tan head that falls slowly with lacing. roasted malt, some hop spiciness, brown sugar. Spicy hops up front, malt sweetness followed by lot’s of coffee. bitter and hoppy aftertaste. Medium body. Carbonation is a little course and plentiful. Overall it’s alright but certainly falls short for me when compared to other Duck Rabbit offerings.

12 oz bottle pours a light brown orange with a beige head that laces down the glass. Nutty, chocolate malts, and some red fruits in the nose. Typical brown plus some red fruit. Nutty and sour red fruit flavors that don’t go together. The red fruits might be an infection. Bitter citrus and grassy finish. I’ve sadly had too many possible infections from this brewery to say this one is a rarity.

Bottle from NC. Pours a cloudy medium brown color with a medium-sized tan head. Aroma is pretty standard for the style with nuts, caramel, and milk chocolate. Flavor is caramel, chocolate malt, nuts, and a hint of floral hops. Palate is smooth with medium-light body. Just a bit watery. Overall above average for the style.
