Thunderhead has been one of our go-to stout recipes for over a decade. This stout is strong and dark with flavors of bittersweet chocolate and dark-roasted coffee imparted by the specialty malts and a full-bodied mouthfeel enhanced by a blend of rye and oats. It has a malt-forward flavor profile and a rounded, balanced bitterness level with minimal hop flavor or aroma.

Sample at the brewpub. I will add the entirety of my notes as soon as possible. This Stout pours nearly black with a medium thick tan head that dissipates slowly to a film. Patchy lacing on the glass. Roasty malt and coffee in the nose. Medium, dry body with flavors of caramel malt, roasted coffee and a touch of chocolate. The finish is mildly bitter coffee and hops with a roasty aftertaste. Decent overall.

tap at Mountain Sun - Pours near black with a light tan head that leaves heavy lacing. It smells of coffee and big roast malt. The flavor is sweet roast malt up front with bitter chocolate and coffee coming in later and ample hops. It has a long, roast finish.

Aroma filled mostly with roasted malt with notes of fresh bread and chocolate. Flavor leans toward the sweet side — chocolate, sweet malts. There is a slight bitter aftertaste. This stout finishes dry. Medium body, crisp.
