Boiling up

Hi guys, I ran my engine up to temperature today, to ensure the temp guage is working and to recharge the battery.

After 20 mins of idling, the expansion tank boiled up and water flowed from the overflow. However the radiator remained cold, along with the bottom hose. The top hose feels empty.

I'm suspecting a stuck thermostat? Any other ideas?
