Notes

First Brewed 2016

Tropic Thunder is the winner of the first ever #HomeBrewDog competition; the brainchild of Tom Doyle, this beer was the highest rated of the 307 beers that were tasted. A full-bodied and complex stout loaded with chocolate, mocha and roasty flavours, finishing with a vibrant burst of orange.
If you are feeling adventurous, and haven’t guzzled your whole batch upon first tasting it, try mulling this like you would a wine or cider. Cinnamon and clove will really lend themselves to the flavour of Tropic Thunder and mulled beer is definitely cooler than the usual offerings at a winter gathering.
