big thanks to JCDenver for the rockin extra. enjoyed from my duck rabbit snifter.

a - brew pours a watery black with hardly any head that was gone quick leaving a few thin bubble islands on the surface.

s - oh wow. big nutty chocolate smell. like brown sugar with nuts. smells fairly amazing. my mouth is watering.

t - there is that amazing smell, but in taste format. only not as magical...but still really solid. chocolate covered nuts. seems more like a really robust brown ale than a porter or a stout. really nice flavor profile.

m - a bit fizzy medium to light bodied. some porter char, but mostly feels like a robust brown ale.

o - really diggin this one. surprised the reviews aren't nicer. chocolate, nuts, brown ale, porter...robust-ness. just enjoyable. i could drink this all night since it isn't too heavy. nice intro "dark beer"

12 oz can - gift from buddy at work (Dunbar) who returned from trip to Dallas last week.

A: Dark, near black with solid tan head and nice initial lacing that faded. Looks great.

S: lots of chocolate in the nose - quite sweet but with backing of oats/grains

T: similar - predominant sweet chocolate along with a roasted (not burnt) malts and very faint coffee flavor. Teaser of syrupy flavor here and there - subtle, adds to overall flavor. Heavy malt profile all the way

M: full bodied and little on the chewy side. middle to end puts a little dryness on the tongue. Great lingering flavors of chocolate malt.

First (and only so far) beer from Deep Ellum. Very happy to have tried it. Solid oatmeal stout/Baltic porter. Up there with some of the most memorable I have had. This could be a good breakfast beer on the right occasion. If ever having the chance again, I would certainly have this beer again.

Dark brown in color, this beer has a nose that features scents such as brown sugar, chocolate, and light roast. The head of foam is tan- colored and fluffy, leaving little or no lace as you consume.

This beer is silky and mostly sweet, with flavors of chocolate, roasted malt, toffee, and caramel. The body is medium and the beer has a slick, almost oil- like feel as it glides through the mouth.

Creamy and remarkably smooth for a beer of this strength, this sweet porter is a little different in that it calls itself a stout and is brewed using lager yeast. But in this instance, different is good and this is certainly a beer I recommend trying.

Had on site in the happy-faced pint glass.

Of course it's dark brown with a dark tan head. Obvious notes of chocolate and caramel to the nose. Tastes of sweet chocolate, some grain, a bit of vinegar and subtle hops. Smooth as hell and creamy for sure. Has semi-dry finish. Thoroughly enjoyable brew from start to finish.

Poured from a can into a tulip. Deep, rich brown, that ends up looking almost black unless held to the light. Head is a khaki/brown crown of foamy goodness. Smell is not very strong, but you get hints of a nutty, brown ale quality, mashing with the roasted malt undertones. Tastes very much like a blend between an oatmeal stout and a brown ale. Traditional nutty malt flavors, with a touch of caramel, immediately followed by rich roasted coffee and some creamy sweetness. Goes in kinda thin but thickens up as you swallow, very refreshing with some heft to it. Robust and enjoyable beer.
