SuIIy (1405), Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts, USA Nov 3, 2009 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. jrob21 (1249), Atlanta, Georgia, USA Oct 23, 2009 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. ThirstyBird (3), Providence, Rhode Island, USA does not count Oct 22, 2009 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. holdenn (1431), Chicago, Illinois, USA Oct 13, 2009 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. HonkeyBra (1258), Lemont, Illinois, USA Oct 10, 2009 Sampled at GABF. Murky brown pour. Aroma is cinnamon, some nuts, caramel. Flavor is caramel, brown sugar, some chocolate. Really solid brown. nickd717 (1273), Palo Alto, California, USA Oct 6, 2009 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. derekbrown (16), Greenville, North Carolina, USA Oct 5, 2009 Pretty decent beer: a little too hoppy for my taste, but a lot of guys I know love the stuff. I prefer their darker beers (milk stout is incredible). I also love that they are a local brewery to me. tokyogoat (505), San Diego, California, USA Oct 4, 2009 Pours a murky brown.
Nose is raisiny with lots of brown sugar.
Taste is foul, just too sweet, odd fruit flavors that i would not want in this style, gross off flavors. I wouldnt drink this again even if it was served in jessica alba’s snatch.
