The Duck-Rabbit Brown Ale

Brewed by The Duck-Rabbit Craft Brewery
Style: Brown Ale
Farmville, North Carolina USA

Ehh, not to much to say about this one. Thanks to emacgee for the bottle! Looks nice, a burnt amber color with small cream colored head. Aroma was very nice, smells fairly nutty, but the taste is like burnt malt to me...

Bottle: Dark mahogany, thick tan head, tons of lacing. Nose of noble hop bitterness and metallic malts, very light roast. Acidic mouthfeel and a vaguely roasty flavor on top of some carob and an overabundance of lame cheap hop bitterness. The flavor is lacking, leaning more towards dry/bitter/acidic vs. the slightly sweet, caramelly mellow brown ales I’ve come to love. Duck Rabbit is certainly across the board here. Weird brown ale, I don’t like.

dark amber/brown with a small tan head. aroma is mostly hoppy to me with some nutty malts. flavor has notes of sweet toasty malts and plenty of hops with give it a tea-like flavor. a lot of hops actually....quite a surprise. just not toasty enough for me and too hoppy.

GABF 2007. Beer is clear, light brown. Head is small, tan, frothy, slowly diminishing, mostly lasting.<P>The aroma is malty with a light note of toasted grain, moderate biscuit and caramel; Hoppy with a light floral note; Yeasty with a light note of basement; Perhaps a trace note of diacetyl; Full of house character.<P>The flavor is moderately/heavily bitter, lightly/moderately sweet with a long, lightly/moderately bitter, lightly sweet finish.<P>The body is light, the texture is watery and the carbonation is lively.<P>Not as capturing as the brewery’s other offerings.

12oz enjoyed at a Super Bowl gathering. I’ve had this one many times and still appreciate its hoppy character, a somewhat more bold take on a style I generally disregard. Nice and floral aroma, with just a bit of malt sweetness coming through but not quite matching the sharp tang.

12 oz bottle, thanks J-Tiki, poured a big light tan head. Aroma of dark caramel. Flavor is full and delecious. Good beer

12 oz bottle from Emacgee, thanks! Dark brown in color, slightly hazy with a light tan head. Aroma is caramel, light touches of chocolate, and citrus. Taste is inbetween light to moderately sweet with some caramel and a touch of chocolate and toasted malt, as well as light citrus and earth. Medium bodied. This was well done for a brown ale, enjoyable.

Deep copper amber in color with a nice head. Malty and caramel aroma. Toffee notes. Caramel and hoppy flavor. Earthy hoppy notes. Finish is nutty. Medium bodied. Ok.
