The Chocolate Thunder is brewed by
General Lafayette Brewery of Lafayette Hill, Pennsylvania. This beer was enjoyed from a growler poured approximately 24 hours earlier and refrigerated since that point.
Have you tasted this beer? Let us know what you think. As a suggestion, try to keep the review as brief as possible for each of the following: appearance; smell; taste; mouthfeel; and drinkability.
Appearance
Adam: from a day old growler, Chocolate Brown, creamy thin head to thin brown ring
Bryan: thick and dark porter/stout-like pour; aggressive pour creates a short-lived 1/2-inch head
Smell
Adam: roasty grain chocolate
Bryan: roasted malt and dark chocolate aromas
Taste
Adam: starts bold, somewhat bitter, leaves a wonderful deep roasted flavor
Bryan: bitter notes upfront transitions through the mouth to a roasted grain flavor, with a lingering chocolate flavor
Mouthfeel
Adam: not too heavy, nice and clean
Bryan: a wonderfully substantial beer throughout
Drinkability
Adam: suprisingly for such a flavorful porter
Bryan: yes, though not an "all night" beer
Seconds?
Adam: heck we had one and brought a growler home ;-)
Bryan: yes
