Breckenridge Thunder Stout

Brewed by Breckenridge Brewery
Style: Stout
Denver, Colorado USA

Draft at the brewpub. A pitch black beer with a faint brown shine under a thick brown head. The aroma is sweet with primary notes of roasted malt, but also light notes of butter. The flavor is sweet with notes of roasted malt and butter, and the body is thin. In my opinion they shouldn’t have sold this specimen.

Draught at the brewpub. Black coloured with a creamy beige head. Roasted aroma of coffee and hops. Roasted flavour of coffee, fruits and hops. Roasted and hoppy finish.

On Tap at the Breckenridge Brewery 2220 Blake Street, Denver 13/10/2008 Roast aroma. Beige head. Black and strong in alcohol with a crisp dry bitter and fruity coffee roast finish.

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.

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..

(draught) Pitch-black; greige dense head. Burnt/roasted barley, sulphury nose. Taste is meaty, yeasty and roasted barley. Soy sauce Japanese style, but less salty. Fleeting glimpse of buckwheat-flour. Full-bodied, on the verge of oily. OK Stout. Looks are more Guinness-like than the taste - well, OK.
