The Duck-Rabbit Wee Heavy Scotch Style Ale

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

Brown pour. Light head. Aroma is malty and a bit nutty. Flavor is a bit hot and very malty. Light nuts. Ok but not my favorite scotch ale.

Pours a deep dark chestnut brown with golden ruby edges when held to a light source and a 2.5 finger frothy off-white head that very slowly fades into a lasting cap that leaves sporadic lacing. Sweet caramel malt aroma with hints of toffee, hazelnut, dark fruit and a surprising amount of hops for the style. Slightly roasty with some subtle cocoa. Sweet caramel malt flavor with hints of toffee, hazelnut, sweet dark fruit notes, brown sugar, cocoa and a pleasant bitter dry hop finish. Medium bodied but slightly watered down with some slight alcohol astringency even though the ABV is decently masked. There’s also an odd spiciness that I can’t quite recognize that gives it a funky aftertaste. Not the best representation of the style.

bottle, thanks to birdiebeagle, amber color with 1/2" foam, aroma of fruity malt with similar flavors of malt, fruit some cashews, caramel , no peat or smoke and very nice balanced finish

355ml bottle. Redish brown with a thin beige head. Aroma of sweet malt, dry fruit, sherry and alcohol. Flavor is sweet malt, dry fruit, some caramel, wood, alcohol and a bitter finish. Quite heavy and sweet body, still somehow balanced on the bitter side. Lovly.

tap at brewgrass....pours a medium amber brown with a touch off-white head... light bready caramel malt with a fair amount of residual sweetness that turned me off from it. overall this one i felt was a too cloying for my liking. need a larger sampling of this one for a rerate but i generally wasn’t all too pleased.

Bottle Pours a good amber with a thin off white head. The head leaves quickly. Laces fairly well. Aroma is fruitywith good malts and a touch of nuts. Has a nice corbonation. The flavor is great with plenty of malts and a good nuttiness. Has a watery texture. Has a medium body. The finish is good with a quality aftertaste. This is another awesome beer from the duck rabbit.

Big thanks to ucusty for this one! Pours reddish brown with a like colored small head. Aroma is prunes, raisins, cherry on a slight metallic note. It runs on the heavy side, but not too much. The flavor is very dark fruity with plums, prunes, raisins, cherries, and molasses. It has a very sweet finish with a hint of smoky peat. This is the fruitiest scotch ale I’ve had.

Deep amber-red ale with minimal tan foam and thin legs. Pleasant aroma noted by dark malts. Medium-heavy body. Pleasant aftertaste.
