I have found all of Duck Rabbits beers to be very good. The brewmaster down there in Farmville really knows his business. My girlfriend bought me some as a present and what a present. It is one of my favorite stouts.

I first encountered the Duck Rabbit Milk Stout at the Flying Saucer in Raleigh, NC (www.beerknurd.com). I always like to try the “local” beers so I figured this would be a good one to test. My favorite stout is Murphy’s (there’s a great story behind it). I set myself up with a tasting of five beers, making sure I had the Murphy’s and the Duck Rabbit. Murphy’s is a bit mild compared to Duck Rabbit and is a more “drinkable” stout. That being said, the Duck Rabbit really surprised me with it’s bold flavors. I got a bit of coffee, cocoa, smoke, and it was overall very satisfying.
On my way back to Virginia, I stopped by the local Total Wine and picked up two six packs. Very good.

I am impressed.
I had been a big fan of Mackeson XXX for a few years until I went to Australia for 6 months then came back to find that my supply at the local Total Wine had dried up…ugh!
I made a game of asking a different employee each time why they no longer carry Mackeson and while I heard confilcting reports, the most common was that the brewery closed down and it’s gone for good…ugh again!
Nevermind that now, I believe that I’ve found a very suitable replacement, and it’s about 2/3 the price of Young’s or Left Hand.
The only thing I’ll add to the review was that the “soft amount of carbonation around the head” was a bit of an understatement in my opinion. Mine have seemed more like a Sprite off the pour, before calming down and acting their age.

I just had it, compliments of you-know-who! I think that the Duck Rabbit Milk Stout is easily better than the Guinness Stout, and much more interesting.
I think the Lancaster Milk Stout is a touch better, but we’re splitting atoms at this point. Of the 3 domestic Milk Stouts I’ve had, I would rank the Lancaster best, closely followed by the Duck Rabbit and Keegan Ales. Really, you almost can’t go wrong with this style!

The Duck-Rabbit Milk Stout is very good, but now try Samuel Adams Cream Stout and tell me what you think…

We recently vacationed down south, and as we passed a restaurant I saw some guy drinking Milk Stout. Having to always try a beer I’ve never heard of, I bought one. IT WAS WORTH IT. Delicious! The bartender told me, many people who drink Guiness think this is better. It’s not. But, it’s still a stout I will search out here in New Jersey. We have a liquor store with a huge creepy clown out front, that’s filled with imports and micro brewery beer. If they don’t have it, I’ll be sure to tell them about it.
