Highland Thunderstruck Coffee Porter
This robust porter has a full body with some hints of chocolate from the chocolate malt and midnight wheat. The mild noble hop aroma showcases the roasty flavors and subtle fruit and spice notes of the artisan-roasted Fair Trade/Organic coffee of Black Mountain, NC’s Dynamite Roasting Co.

12oz bottle @ home. Very dark brown with a full light brown head and good lacing. Big coffee nose with roasted malt and chocolate notes. Flavors also roasted coffee and malt, cocoa. Medium bodied with a nicely balanced mocha finish. Really nice.
Had a pint at WOB in Destin. I have this right behind their Black Watch as my 2nd favorite beer from Highland. A robust coffee forward porter.
Pours black with brown head. Has a coffee and roasted malt aroma. A coffee, chocolate, and roasted malt. A lingering coffee and roasted malt aftertaste.
Dark brown in color, with thick, light brown head. Hints of raisins and coffee beans in the aroma. Less bitter than expected, despite its strong coffee taste.
Aroma is like fresh coffee. Taste is more coffee with a light toasty malt underbelly. Some carbonation, but overall it’s a light bodied brew with lots of coffee, lots.
Delicious coffee porter with deep, roasty veins of chocolate and java. Mild herbal bitterness on the finish. Damn tasty.
Pours a dark brown color with a tan head. Aroma is pretty good. Roasted malts and chocolate with a lot of coffee. Flavor is also mostly coffee with some roasted malts and chocolate. Pretty impressed with this brew.
Tastes like a breakfast stout. Strong coffee flavor as expected. Very hearty. Robust. Creamy. Surprisingly hoppy aftertaste.
Thin fading heads. A bit thin on the tongue. Slight coffee bitterness. Strong coffee. Flavored. Nice beer though.
6 Jan 2015, bottle. Black. Nose is really big, bitter, dark espresso. Med body and moderately fizzy. Tastes like dark chocolate with hints of chili pepper. Faintly acidic. Nice enough.
Bottle had on 3.30.14.
Dark black opaque pour with minimal head. Smell is very vanilla forward with some coffee coming through. Flavor is creamy coffee. I’m diggin’ it. Drinkable enough.
Pours dark brown but transparent with a decent light brown head.nose is strong coffee with a touch of cream and sweetness.flavor is a bit more tempered but still dominated my coffee tones with a dry finish at the end of a fairly sweet but thin malt. decent but not particularly stand out.
My favorite Highland beer. Had in Asheville. Good coffee, not overpowering.
Bottle from Total Wines, Sterling, VA. Dark brown with a decent, beige, head. Rich coffee bean aroma and taste, avoiding any jarring bitterness. Also had some plain chocolate and a trace of leafy hop, before a dryish finish.
Bottle. Pours a black color with small light brown head. Aroma is of roasted malt and coffee beans. Flavor is a combination of sweet chocolate malt and roasted coffee beans. Medium to full bodied. Quite good.
Solid. Cola colored. Roast, char, coffee, Cocoa. Medium bodied with a dry finish. Nice on a cold day.
하이랜드 브루 - 썬더스트럭 커피 포터 5.8% ABV 검게 로스팅한 맥아, 밀, 커피로 브루잉 한 커피 포터. 드라이한 커피향이 주를 이루며 . 단맛없이 인스턴트 커피를 탄듯한 단순한 커피향의 맥주.
커피는 공정무역을 통해 수입된 오르가닉 제품이라고 한다. 전반적으로 드라이 하고 라이트 한 편이라 초콜릿 케이크라도 곁들이고 싶은 맥주. 달달한 디저트류를 곁들이 좋을 듯

Bottle shared during RBWG 2015 - Tampa. Pours clear brown with a foamy beige head. Rich coffee throughout, with earthy hops and dry cocoa. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Fairly dry on the finish, moderately roasty, with further coffee and bittersweet chocolate. Nice beer.
22 ounce bottle on the bus, backseat .. . pours dark brown .. light foam .. . some cheap coffee and brown bread crust .. light mouth, finish- like most highland beers .. . . then they would have been extremely uncomfortable and later on had the gnarly shit of their life.
Bottle. Pours dark brown tan head. Nose/taste of coffee, light chocolate and vanilla. Medium body.
bottle dated 12/13 to glass. Wonderful coffee aroma - one of the better coffee aromas... big dark brown froth head. Taste was better cold; as it warmed it seemed more watery and less flavorful. coffee was main flavor with roast....
22oz bottle in a teku. Pours very dark brown with a lacy, beige head. Aroma of coffee, some roasted malts with light notes of caramel and chocolate, hints of bitterness from hops, and some light dough. Flavor the same but it has a very nice balance of coffee and the beer. Average texture and carb. A pretty good beer, that was actually better than I was expecting.
Bus beer, RBWG 2015. Deep maroon color. Aroma of huge coffee. Taste is pure coffee, light body.
Bottle at porch Nite thanks to Brisben. Pours dark brown with one finger of creamy head. Aroma is some coffee some dark fruits and some maltiness. Flavor follows. Fairly sweet. A bit too much. But overall a nice beer.
bottle. dark pour medium body. aromas of coffee,roasted malts, & some chocolate. flavor folows up aroma as expected with a sweet finish. Decent mouthfeel, good porter
ABC PCB growler. Gorgeous brown pour with a foamy, tan head that lasts forever. Big roasty aroma with a hint of coffee. Nice flavor that hints at coffee but also reminds me of roasted peanuts. Nice.
Black in the glass. Smoky coffee and cocoa aroma. Dry on the palate with a tobacco, cocoa and coffee flavor. Overall, tasty!
