    Give this a shot.

    Baseline glass was solid, nice chocolate flavor and some good coffee/roasty notes.
    First pour had a quick soak in the bunny - Came out sugary-sweet...as expected. Strong cheap-chocolate taste.
    Second pour sat in the hollow bunny longer...much smoother chocolate taste.

    Fun experiment and worth a shot...

    OP, just wondering, is there a recommended beer you could suggest to do this with? Sorry, as much as I tried to zoom in on your picture I couldn't tell what beer you were using. Thank you.

    Clearly you did this successfully, but my big fear is...

    Chocolate Beer EVERYWHERE

    @BeerKangaroo - it's Pisgah Vortex II.

    No beer spillage really...clean spout in the bottom and you've got your chocolate beer stout flowing!

    BTW - this was completely goofy and ridiculous, but we had a great time doing it.

    Why the hell aren't you drinking beer out of a rabbit head? You don't need a glass. Maybe a bigger rabbit. :slight_smile:

    I would go with either a milk stout or a kriek if it was me.

    Pretty cool idea. I'll have to check it out. How long did you let it set?

    Just a few minutes. I'm sure you'd get more flavor from a longer "soak". We basically let it sit long enough for us to stop laughing about the whole idea of going through with it in the first place.

    You'd better not let the PETA folks see this. Or worse yet... the Beer Advocate folks. :grimacing:

    Well that's a good thing, because they'd be stale as #$#@. I think next year we'll buy a better quality chocolate bunny and let the beer sit a little longer.

    This method needs a name (other than ghetto/white trash Randall-izing). Suggestions? Too bad it's not an IPA....PeterHopsInTail?? (sorry, its' early and I haven't had coffee yet).

    Do I spy a hot chocolate machine next to the coffee?
