Thunder Canyon Warhead Stout

Brewed by Thunder Canyon Brewery
Style: Imperial Stout
Tucson, Arizona USA

Thanks to cbkschubert. An aroma of chocolate and coffee with a hint of brown sugar. An almost black pour with a slight tan head and gooey lacing. A flavor of chocoffeeish roasted malt. A dry start that transistions to a semi sweet background flaor and a nice bitter. A smooth even textured palate that spreads across and is neither slick nor thin. Carbonation was good as well. An overall very good beer. thanks craig

Thanks to cbkschubert for this awesome beer. Of course the obvious, pours black with no head. Smell is sweet sweet chocolate. Taste is very interesting. Vanilla, chocolate and malt. Taste is also sweet at first but turns to a dry finish. I like this alot. Thanks for the growler Craig.

This growler was brought to the fordest tasting by wetherel and shared between fordest, padrefan98, toncatcher and of course wetherel. It pours deep dark darkness with a tan head. The aroma is roasty and burnt malts with some sort of oatmeal-ish twang in there too. I also get some nice chocolate malt notes. The taste is rich and roasty and sweet bordering on luxurious. I get burnt malts, chocolate malts and roasted malts. I love the rich mouth feel. Very nice brew. Thanks wetherel.

# 28 Bottle. [Papsoe’s great blind tasting, thanks Henrik!] Average creamy beige head that mostly diminished. Fair display of lacework. Pitch black color. Aroma of toasted malt, chocolate, coffee, berries. Over the palate came roasted malt, bitter cold coffee and dark chocolate. Hint of liquorish and faint hoppy feel. Full bodied with a soft carbonation and alcoholic texture. Moderated to heavy sweet flavor with good counter bitterness. Roasted malt and liquorish lingering finish. 8-4-8-4-16 = 4.0 19-04-2008

Growler. Pours nearly black as night with a very firm dark khaki head. Nice. Aroma or roasted chocolate malt, a touch of espresso, bittersweet chocolate. Some leather and earthy hops. Light notes of anise and charred wood as well. Flavor is quite nice. Well roasted malt, chocolate, char. Slightly bitter hops. i like this one because the malt is perfectly roasted... not bringing out the astringent and bitter overly roasted malt. Medium to full bodied with a slightly bitter malt finish. A very well done Imperial. Thanks Craig!

growler thanks to the man craig.....an almost black pour with browning along the edges. a thin film of tan head rested on top....chocolate malt and a burnt roastiness made up the nose.....flavors of roasty rich chocolate sweetness with a medium body and mouthfeel....this one has a lot of things going for it but nothing really sets it apart for it to be a standout. an extremely solid imperial stout in my book.

Thanks to hellbilly for bringing a growler of this to the bockyhorsey tasting. Pours very dark with no head. Aroma is of very complex roastiness and not much else. Taste is velvety with a nice level of roast. Tasty, but not terribly complex. A little sweet and roasty, but doesn’t have the taste complexity to cover-up/backup. Overall nice beer. Suck it Dark Lord.

Thick, rich, strong imperial stout. Jet black, with a tan head. Taste of coffee, bitter bitter coffee. Warms and reveals more chocolatey tones. Very good.
