| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Nov 9, 2009 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 SuIIy (1486), Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts, USA

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | 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 | 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | 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 (1445), Chicago, Illinois, USA
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 9/20 | 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 (1366), Lemont, Illinois, USA

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.
