The Duck-Rabbit Schwarzbier

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

Pours a deep brown with a bunch of dark amber notes peaking through with a medium creamy/bubbly tan head that left some lacing. Aroma of rich toasted almost roasty malt, mixed toasted nuts, nice hop presence that offers citrusy and floral notes, also getting some coffee and chocolate. Flavor of light roasted coffee, milk chocolate, bready malt notes, hard pretzels, nuts, grains and a nice hop profile with lightly spicy hop notes along with some light citrus.

Pours black with an off white head that laces the rim of the glass. Nice malty aroma. The thin mouthfeel is offset by the overwhelming flavors of the dark malts bursting through with chocolate and coffee flavors. Nice finish with a very mild hopping that ends each sip nicely. A great Dark Beer for the Summertime! Paul and the gang has hit this one out of the park! Way to go, GUYS!!!!!

Bottle. Slightly translucent black, big thick head. Smells fantastic with bittersweet chocolate and coffee. Starts off with a bit of sweetness, then follows with great roasted flavors. Great, clean finish with no unwanted sourness. I LOVED this beer.

Bottle pours black with off white head. Aroma is coffee, chocolate, smoke, almond, and some hops. Silky mouthfeel. Flavor follows the nose. This brew has layers of complexity. The smoke flavors play well with the chocolate and coffee flavors. Finishes with a roast coffee note. This is one smooth brew. Nice job.

Bottle. Love me some duck rabbit beers! Pours a dark brown almost black. Small white head. I get roasted malt and coffee as the primary aromas. Flavor is roasty and a tad bitter with a good coffee dose. I dont get a whole lot of chocolate in this one. But its good. Most DR beers are.

Bottle Pours a nice dark brown almost black with a thin tan head. The head lasts well and laces nicely. Has good aroma of roast, chocolate, and coffee. Has a good carbonation and a wonderful mouthfeel. Has a good flavor. Not too strong but just hearty enough. Has a good medium body. The texture is mildly thick but good. Has a great finish with a good aftertaste. This is another awesome beer from the DR.

Dark brown/black. Aroma of dark chocolate and espresso. Flavor is more of the same; very malty and roasty with just enough bitterness to let you know the hops are there. Just a hint of dark fruit, that reminds me of the DR Baltic Porter. Light-medium body with a very dry, clean finish. Perfect dark beer for the summer months. This is a top notch brew and will keep me content until their Baltic rears it’s head this fall.

12 oz. bottle. Pours dark brown with garnet highlights - opaque due to color but otherwise very clear - and with a nice but short-lasting tan head. Aroma of toasted malt, some caramel, dark coffee, burnt molasses and some noble hops on the back. Rich, roasty flavor with lots of expresso, bakers chocolate, but a strong close of hops into a long, dry finish. Medium bodied and moderately carbonated; smooth. Excellent, full-flavored schwarzbier.
