Breckenridge Thunder Stout

Brewed by Breckenridge Brewery
Style: Stout
Denver, Colorado USA

Black with great head. A great pour of a beer, compliments to the brewpub. Very watery. Taste is too much like coffee for me. Too much aftertaste. Reminds me of a porter not a stout. My wife loves it and won’t stop talking about it.

nitro pour, well, it smells like something on nitro, light cocoa comes through. a nice looking beer. dark in color with the white head playing well against the dark body. the beer version of cookies and cream ice cream and folgers coffee, but watered down so just the astruingent coffee note lingers. but it does have a nice balance between the sugary cream and and bitter coffee with a bit of dry cocoa lingering.

on nitro-pours a smooth tan head and black color. Aroma is dark malt. Taste is mild dark malt, coffee, some acidic. As nitro dispensed, minimum carbonation. A bit thin mouth feel.

Sampled at brewpub. Poured off of nitro. Creamy smooth stout with notes of chocolate, coffee and nuts.

on to the good stuff. A nice dark almost black color. A good yellowish head. Sort of a mix of dry and sweet stout flavors.

On draft at the Denver location, 4/15/06: Big ol’ creamy head. Milkiest beer yet. smooth, but a bit chalky. Sweet and lightl roasty. Excellent.

Draught, Breckenridge by Coors Field, Denver. Head is fully lasting (nitro). Body is dark brown to black. Aroma is lightly malty (roasted grain, nuts, chocolate), with hints of licorice and vanilla. Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly acidic. Finish is lightly sweet, lightly acidic, lightly bitter. Light to medium body, watery/creamy texture, soft carbonation.

Lasting beige head, dark cola coloured hue. Hazelnutty malts procure a dark chocolate feel that leafy hops somehow passes easily. Interesting, if mellow, developing date, anise, cigar and cola notes take form among the evolving roastiness, but everything is too subtle and there’s a bit too much tartness to my tastes..
