The Duck-Rabbit Rabid Duck Russian Imperial Stout

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

You cannot see through this beer. Strong scent of alcohol. Molasses, roasted, and smoke flavor. An extremely bitter and dry beer. Alcohol is very present. This will cleanse your mouth, like stripping your teeth. :) So far I think their regular beers have been more impressive. *edit - this is much easier to drink out of the bottle.

(12oz bottle) Sampled at the Post-Great Canadian Beer Festival 2007 in Victoria on September 8th, 2007. Trade courtesy of Ungsmash. Deep brown frothy head with opaque body. Nose of strong alcohol, brown sugar and toffee. Strong molasses and soya sauce. Excellent beverage.

355 ml. Opaque black with a huge dark brown sugar head that lasts forever and leaves crusty lace everywhere. Big smoky coffee, dark fruit, molasses and cocoa nose. Flavor is initially anise, big dark chocolate-flavored molasses and dark fruit, turns to coffee, burnt toffee, soy sauce, earthy and charred wood, just the right touch of alcohol (not much) , and a slight lactose-metallic hop twang. Large and syrupy smooth body has a nice tongue tingle all the way through. Lots of balanced and excellent flavors; one of the best desserts you’ll ever find!

Pretty black. The aroma is milky, roasty, with a hint of molasses. Thick, rich brew. Molasses and stinging roast throughout, with an alcohol tickle down the throat. I’m not terribly enthusiastic about this one - it’s all stinging roast and doesn’t offer much nuance. The character isn’t as rounded with lush sugars as a typical DR brew.

sandy head and a pure black body. Smelled of roasted malts, pine and chocolate. So Creamy!

bottle. so very black, thin brown head. Aroma of dark chocolate, coffee. Hit me like a sledgehammer, tobacco, coffee, thick and with prominent alcohol. Did someone pour a shot of bourbon in my beer?

Pours a pitch black color with a thin light brown head. Very good aroma and flavor of roasted malt and chocolate with a bitter finish, it’s powerfull without being too aggressive. The body is medium with a creamy texture and moderate carbonation. Very good, very well done.

Oily and black with a brown head. Lots of chocolate and coffee in the aroma. Definately felt this one as it went down. The flavor was a little burnt for my taste. Good though.....
