The Duck-Rabbit Rabid Duck Russian Imperial Stout

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

Bottle. Nearly black oily pour with minimal brown head. Gotta coax that sucker. Roasty coffee and barley as well as chocolate as well as butterscotch and a bit of vanilla bean on the nose. Similar palate, but with added hops a bit sweeter and milkier than expected given the bitter roast nose. A little thin on the palate. Still, a very good beer from a wonderful brewery.

ACBF 2008. Just another imperial stout. The coffee, chocolate, and roastiness that you expect, with nothing too surprising. Reasonably smooth, but nothing to write home about.

Had this at GABF in Boston. Jet black and viscous. Flavor had lots of chocolate and roasted malt, some sweetness coming from caramel, toffee, or lactose. Palate was really chalky but pleasant. Nice hop presence.

Bottle acquired via moejuck...THANKS JOE!!! The aroma rising off this beer is incredible...bitter chocolate, dry roasted coffee, and a hint of fruitiness. Flavor is fairly sweet with the more dominant brown sugar, toffee, and caramel making their way up from (the chocolate is there but plays 2nd fiddle). Finishes somewhat bitter. A solid RIS!!!

Nice stout. Maybe a hair too dry. Black pour. Medium milk chocolate head. Aroma of chocolate with a dry bitter chocolate finish.

Sample at the Most Honorable SuperHappyFun Stout Tasting (thanks to ucusty): pours a very, very dark black with a tan head. Aroma is sweet sugars, and toasted malts. Maybe a hint of coffee bean. Flavor is very full, with dark flavors of roasted malts, and dark fruits, sweet throughout and a slightly warm finish. Spicy hops are present in the finish. Really enjoyed this.

Sample at the Most Honorable SuperHappyFun Stout Tasting. Thanks to Rogueone for sharing. This beer pours a flat black color with a thin brown head that recedes slowly. Stringy lacing. Aroma of sweet malt and toffee at first, followed by coffee and dark fruit. Rich body with flavors of chocolate, coffee, plum and malt. The finish is malty with notes of dark berry. Enjoyable all around.

Bottle from emacgee in trade. Thanks!
Pours dark black with a short lived tan head. Smell is dark, pudding like, sweet dried fruits and figgy, especially. Taste is sweetish, fruity and pudding like again with a rich flavor and a somewhat strong hoppy finish to balance as well. Pretty good, and likely one of my favorite if not favorite, Duck Rabbit brews.
