This is the only beer on Salmon Creek’s roster tagged with a proper name, though sadly, there is nothing electrifying or intense about this beer as the “Thunderbolt” moniker might imply. This is not Salmon Creek’s brightest moment. Thunderbolt is brown with a slight mahogany hue. It features a light, cream-colored head that fades abruptly, a yeasty, meaty flavor, and scant aroma.

This beer has ample carbonation and decent lace but lacks the rich roastiness of a porter and has significant shortcomings as a representation of the style.
