Topic Thunder

About this beer

A rich and indulgent Pastry Stout from Edinburgh's Cold Town Beer, combining traditional roasted malt character with the decadent flavours of chocolate, nuts and vanilla. Topic Thunder pours a deep ebony colour, introducing an inviting dessert-inspired drinking experience with a smooth, velvety texture and substantial body. Rich chocolate flavours form the foundation of the beer, complemented by distinctive roasted nut notes that contribute warmth and depth. A gentle vanilla sweetness softens the darker roasted characteristics, creating a rounded and luxurious flavour profile reminiscent of a chocolate and nut confectionery treat. Traditional stout bitterness provides balance against the sweeter dessert elements, preventing the rich flavours from becoming overwhelming. Its full-bodied mouthfeel and carefully balanced carbonation enhance the beer's creamy character, delivering a satisfying and lingering finish. At 7% ABV, Topic Thunder offers a substantial interpretation of a modern pastry stout, showcasing Cold Town's creative approach to combining classic dark beer styles with imaginative dessert-inspired flavours.
