Aug 3, 2007 Bottle. Inviting aroma of roasted nuts, very much like a mild flavored coffee. Almost jet black color with a minimal head. The taste isn’t complicated, but it’s just what I want out of a porter with a pleasing balance between roasted bitterness, coffee, and very mild chocolate. This is as drinkable a porter as you can find. Not a knock your socks off beer, but a great representation of the style. Would buy again.

Aug 2, 2007 Bottle. Lactic, roasty aroma. Huge head on the pour. More lactic acid in the taste is behind a very bitter roast, lemon kind of... I don’t even know. Soggy and harsh. Not good.

Aug 2, 2007 One hell of a good porter. Nice body with plenty of roast, chocolate, and sweetness. If you want a good porter look no further.

Aug 1, 2007 Six pack from Total Wine in Huntersville, NC. Pours a very dark brown with a nice beige head. Aroma is dark malt, chocolate and a touch of caramel. Taste is smooth, creamy and has a touch of molasses to go with chocolate roasty good. My oh my, this is awesome. I’m definitely getting this beer again.

Aug 1, 2007 Picked up a single 12-oz bottle via trade with Frumpy. Pours an opaque dark brown brew with a thick beige head that slowly dissolves to a fine head and lacing. Aroma of dark roasted malt, some sour cherries, caramel, and some chocolate. Taste is highly carbonated, smooth, creamy with flavors of sweet molasses, chocolate and a slight sour cherry. Finish is slightly sweeter than most of the other Duck-Rabbit brews with a dark roasted malt and chocolate tart aftertaste.

Jul 29, 2007 (bottle, thanks again Skyview) Pours a very dark brown with a khaki head. Malty aroma with not too much else. Flavor was mainly roasted malt as well with some chocolate hints. The beer could’ve been a tad bit thicker.

Jul 28, 2007 [Bottle, thanks Skyview] Pours dark brown with a medium tan head. Decent aroma--mostly malt. Good roasted taste. Body was a little thin. Long roasted finish. Nice beer.

Jul 28, 2007 Much thanks to Skyview for this pour. Dark brown color with foamy light brown head. Heavily carbonated. Sour cherries greet my nostrils at first. Some malty character eventually joins in. Very thin body with roasted malts and faint sour cherry. A little watery on the finish, but a very well done porter nonetheless.
