The Duck-Rabbit Rabid Duck Russian Imperial Stout

From TFP: The Duck Rabbit Brewery is still a small and fairly new Craft Brewery. Their website doesn’t list this beer, but it is something a guy who loves beer would want to try.

The Duck Rabbit Craft Brewery – Rabid Duck Russian Imperial Stout – 12 oz. bottle poured into a goblet. 10% abv. From Dan in PA!

Appearance: Pours a midnight brown with a small gathering of brown suds atop.

Aroma: Dark chocolate, brownie mix, dates, figs, and chocolate covered cherry.

Taste: Dark chocolate covered cherry, black coffee, black pepper, red wine, burnt chocolate malt, and has a little bit of hop spice in the finish.

Mouthfeel: Thick and almost syrupy.

Overall: A nice sipper beer.  With all of these deep bold flavors, I am surprised to not feel an alcohol presence.  I would serve this with a Black Forrest Cake or Chocolate Mousse.
