The Duck-Rabbit Milk Stout

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

Pours dark with a nice tan head. Aroma of roastiness and chocolate. Flavor is full of roasted malt and not much else, maybe a little hops. This is a love-or-hate offering, but not much of a milk stout.

dark brown with a thick tan head. this smelled like dumpster. it was fucking foul and tasted like sour dumpster. it was horrible but i’m a trooper and finished much to my friends’ chagrin. maybe i got a bad bottle

12 oz bottle from beerlord’s mom’s trip to NC. Got to taste both the porter and the milk stout, and I agree with beerlords’ assessment that the porter was better. The only thing close I’ve had to a ’milk stout’ is the SA Cream Stout which I really love. This has a nice appearance and aroma, but the taste is just a little off, and I can’t place what it is. Whatever it is, whenever there is an ’off-taste’ to a beer, that will usually put me off on it. Seems like a good brewery though, and would like to try other selections.

poured from a 12oz. bottle into a dimpled glass mug, beer thanks to mikesgroove :-) A: Pours very dark brown, nearly black, looks "burnt" and features a big pillowy beige head. S: Not what I was expecting, this ale’s aromas fall somewhere between sweet and soapy, with a touch of grass or hay. Some mildly piney hops scents in there too. T/M: Thankfully the soapy aromas don’t translate over into the beer, so it’s back in business. The initial nose is very sweet, with some predominantly milk chocolate flavoring right up front and not hiding. Nice feel to the beer too, I found it to be quite lip-smacking and sugary, though there is nearly no finish to speak of. D: While I enjoyed this beer for the most part, and it’s relatively reasonable ABV make it a beer that’s easy enough to put back a few, I didn’t find myself going ga-ga over this one. Probably wouldn’t seek this out too often.

Bottle. Aroma of roasted coffee, chocolate, and some alcohol. Creamy texture. Flavor is also of cream, roasted malt, and hops. Kind of a strange mix.

Bottle at Taco Mac, TN. Pours clear dark brown color with a large cascading frothy light brown head that was lasting with excellent lacing. Moderate roasted chocolate malty aroma. Medium to full body with a creamy texture. Heavy balanced roasted bittersweet flavor with a medium bittersweet finish of long duration. This is a solid drinkable sweet stout.

Poured a dark brown/black; light brown medium sized head. Aroma was not very strong; small hint of chocolate, some roasted malt, and a smell that was a mix between yeast and floral hops. Not bad aroma overall, but a little faint. A very strong sweet presence initially; milk, sugar, and chocolate, gives way to a roasted malt, with some chocolate. Body was a little light, could have been fuller and creamier mouthfeel. About average for me.

Pours dark brown with light brown-fizzy head. Had to work to find the chocolate aroma. Taste is slightly acidic and bitter with metallic finish.
