The Duck-Rabbit Baltic Porter is deep, rich and velvety soft. A full blooded roasty character with almost no burnt flavor is balanced by complex alcohol notes. Strong (9% alcohol by volume) yet unfailingly subtle, this special brew rewards unhurried attention. Enjoy!

Bottle thanks to suzygreenberg, an amazing extra to get! Pours black as black can be with a nice dark brown head that dissipated quite quickly. Aroma is amazingly full with notes of roasted malt, acidic coffee and chocolate. There is a slight undertone of alcohol on the nose. The alcohol is much more present in the flavor. It begins with roasted malts and coffee and the alcohol grows throughout. Beer is amazingly smooth and a bit thick.

Bottle from the cooler-behind-the-cooler at Chuck’s Fine Wines. The beer pours nearly pitch black with a medium brown head that dissolves to a film eventually. Stringy lacing on the glass. Aroma of dark chocolate covered raspberries and cherries plus a bit of coffee. Rich and smooth body with flavors of coffee, caramel malt and tart fruits. Nice chocolatey character throughout. The finish is moderately bitter coffee balanced by sweet malt. Very good, possibly the best Baltic Porter around.

Courtesy of cigarcitybrew. Pours black, off-white head. Aroma is fruity (raisin), grainy, some nice caramel notes. Taste, alcohol is noticable. Some roastiness, cofee and grains, add some nice chocolate malts in the mix and this is one fine Baltic Porter.

Thanks Santa! Very dark brown/black opaque, head foamed up full but dissipated quickly. Huge rich roasty aroma with some dark chocolate, and a chocolate milkiness. Flavor is also heavily roasted, full soft velvety with a dark bittersweet chocolate finish. Rockin!
