Thornbridge – Cocoa Wonderland Chocolate Porter (6.8% ABV)

Hi there fellow beer lovers,

I’ll hold my hand up and confess to being a bit of a Thornbridge fan-boy. Jaipur on cask is one of my all time favourite beers and its pretty nifty in bottles and cans too. Add porter and chocolate to the mix and I fully expect to enjoy this one.

Includes lactose added in the brewing process.

  2. Brewery: Thornbridge, Bakewell, Derbyshire
  3. Hops : Not specified
  4. Grain : Barley and wheat
  5. Aroma : Coffee and little more than dark chocolate and hints of rum

No surprise here, all that needs to be said is an outstanding beer.
