My Month of Flagships: DuckRabbitBrew Milk Stout -- As good as you'd expect from 'the dark beer specialist.' craftbeer beertwitter FlagshipFebruary
As I’ve made my way through this month of flagship beers, I’ve attempted to illustrate that all styles are by no means created equally, when it comes to their likelihood to carry a company. We saw that with Allagash, which is supported by a witbier, or the unique blend of Belgian quad and kriek that is Ommegang’s Three Philosophers. We saw it also with Left Hand, who managed to turn a milk stout into their year-round flagship, one of the only breweries that could ever make that claim.
There are lots of great beer styles Duck-Rabbit doesn’t brew. Instead, it focuses on dark beers: a set of styles that had been under-represented in the beer market. There is an enormous range of flavor possibilities in dark beers – something for every beer fan! The hope is that this specialization can help to set The Duck-Rabbit apart from other breweries.
One has to assume that since 2004, Duck-Rabbit and this stout have more than done their part in building a new generation of dark beer devotees, perhaps acting as a first step on the road for the legions of beer geeks who now line up around the block to hoard cases of ____ brewery’s newest breakfast cereal/candy bar pastry stout concoction. But there’s no need to simply think of milk stout as some stepping stone toward an imperialized, flavor-bombed ideal.
On the nose, Duck-Rabbit Milk Stout strikes me as solidly roasty and slightly grainy, with dark chocolate highlights and a “coffee and cream” character that is quite appealing. It honestly is more assertively roast than I remembered it being from the past, and I am totally on board with that.
