The Duck-Rabbit Milk Stout is a traditional full-bodied stout brewed with lactose (milk sugar). Because lactose is unfermentable by brewer’s yeast, it remains in the beer. The subtle sweetness and fullness of flavor imparted by this sugar balances the sharpness of the highly roasted grains that give this delicious beer its black color. All year long, Milk Stout is our number one selling beer!

Refrigerated 12 oz. brown bottle poured into a shaker. Pours black with large dark brown translucent highlights and small light brown head. Nice thin small bubble lacing, medium body, medium carbonation, and lactose aroma. Taste is sweet lactose, roasted malt, and slightly tart cherries (wasn’t expecting this). Really easy to drink and pretty good.

Sample at Mellow Mushroom in Johnson City. The beer is a dark brownish-black color with a medium beige head that recedes steadily. Rings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of roasted malt and chocolate. Light to medium body with flavors of mild coffee, chocolate malt and a touch of hops. The finish is sweet with a mocha aftertaste. Decent overall.

Bottle. Beer of the month club. Dark brown to black-colored with a big, rocky, creamy, beige to light brown head. Aroma of coffee, some chocolate and light nutty notes. Flavor starts sweetish, pretty roasty, with coffee, some chocolate and lactose notes and finishes bitter and roasty, a bit burnt. Medium-bodied. Decent.

Bottle at home from end of brew of the month club I was given. Pours jet black with no head and sweet chocolate nose. Tastes of milk chocolate, roasted malt, coffee, cola, soy sauce, hints of herbs, and smoke. Quite pleasant, creamy mouthfeel, and nice finish

Deep dark brown coloured body with a nice, two centimetre tall thick brown head and some nice cola coloured glows near the bottom. Aroma of lactic notes, roasted malt, oatmeal, caramel and a hint of peat - nice. Medium-bodied; Nice full flavour of roasted malt, anise, coffee, chocolate and the pungent lactic notes at the tail end. Aftertaste shows some sweetness from caramelised sugars, a bit of alcohol warmth and a good complex earthy finish. Overall, a nice sweet, lactic sugar based stout with exactly what you’d want to taste from the style. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Total Wine in McLean, Virginia on 07-November-2012 for US$8.99/6pack, sampled at home in Washington on 24-November-2012.

12 oz. bottle was 10 days past best buy date. With that being said, I could pickup an off sour note with a metallic finish. I understand that any brew that’s under 6 % should be consumed fresh. What I don’t understand is how could it diminish so quickly just 10 days past best buy date? It also had hints of soy sauce. It must be a totally different brew on draft because in the bottle it is a sorry excuse for a milk stout. Even if I see this on draft, not sure I would order it. And after being told this was good, I’m real confused??
