UPDATED: APR 29, 2013 Sampled at Fort Worth Untapped. Nose of faint roasted malts. Poured a beautiful murky dark brown with a tan head and amazing lacing. Tasted light coffee malts, milk chocolate, kind of like a porter/stout hybrid. Medium carbonation, medium-thick creamy body

On tap at the brewery. Dark pour with a small brown head. Aroma is lots of chocolate, a little roasted, and nutty. Taste is coffee, chocolate, dry roast, and a little bitter.

It’s not a stout, people, read your beer history! :) It’s an oatmeal porter basically and follows the original meaning of the word "stout" before it was butchered (Guiness anyone?). This beer pours with a nice head, tight lacing, and looks beautiful in the light. It’s got a nice smooth, sweet taste and pairs well with a variety of food (my favorite is pork). Great mouth feel Here’s the description from the brewery: "‘Stout’ for many years meant a Porter of substantial strength and at several times and places in history the term ‘Double Brown Stout’ has signified a variety dark, strong brews. Our favorite is the Scandinavian or Baltic version, emphasizing the chocolate-y and dark dried fruit character over the burnt or ashy roast flavors of some its cousins. Unlike most members of the Stout and Porter family, our DBS is fermented with a lager yeast (rather than ale), whose cleaner fermentation profile allows the malt and hop flavors do the talking."

On tap at the Gin shop or whatever the hell its called. Pours a brown color with a creamy head. Cracker jacks, roasted nuts, and brown sugar. Decent mouthfeel. Not too bad.

Is this a brown ale or a stout b/c you sure can’t tell from the name? I take it, it’s more of a stout which is a shame b/c it’s a terrible mess of a stout. Just waaaaay too sweet and syrupy. Zero roastiness and smokey flavor. I had trouble chokeing this one down. I’ve had these guys other beers and they are good but this is a bad representation of a stout.

On tap. Muddy brown color slight beige colored head. The smell is cocoa, malts, toast, ash, and roast. The taste is sweet, milk choloate, citrus hops, roast, and ok.

On tap- Pour is dark with a little head that was shortly gone, Aroma of nut and chocolate, The Taste is perfect, Hints of Chocolate, coffee,with roasted malts and spice with a nice Body.. Roasted Malts, and a little rye with coffee on the Palate. This is a very drinkable and addicting beer. I had 6 Pints of this and wanted more. This is one of the Best beer i have had and Damn proud its made here local,

on tap at brewery opening black pour with lighter tones on edge. minimal head. some chocolate and roasted and malt in aroma. Nice blended flavor - roasted malsts, powdery chocolate; med mouthfeel efinite above average stout!!! will be back! brown stout with oats; all my favs!

(Draught) Pours an opaque black body with a medium brown head. Aroma of roasted malt, chocolate, anise, wet leather, and humidor. Flavor of smoke, toasted grain, lactose, wood, and baking cocoa.

On tap at The Common Table. The beer pours a dark brown color with a tan head. The aroma is great, with a ton of chocolate up front and a little bit of roasted malt also mixed in. Definitely the aroma of a big, flavorful beer. The flavor doesn’t disappoint. I get a lot of roasted malt and chocolate notes, as well as some oaked notes and some lactose. The beer is very creamy and all of the aroma and flavor notes seem to go very well together. Medium to thick, creamy mouthfeel and medium carbonation.
