Cocoa Wonderland is a full bodied, robust porter with natural mocha malt flavours from the complex malt grist, complementing the decadent additions of real cocoa beans to the maturation process. A truly wonderful, award winning Chocolate beer.

Keg at the Craft Beer Co., Brighton. Dark reddish-brown pour with a beige head. Caramel, toffee, cocoa and chocolate aroma. Flavours of chocolate ice cream, lots of cocoa, vanilla, light coffee hit. Smooth, sweet dessert feel. Very nice.

Bottle at home in the garden, picked up from beer gonzo. A mahogany brown coloured pour with reddy hues and a thin beige head. Aroma is sweet earthy chocolate, cocoa nibs, tangy tart fruit, cakey malts and some drinking chocolate. Flavour is composed of dry earthy chocolate, burnt sugars, bitter chocolate roasty finish, milk chocolate sweetness. Palate is medium full bodied, frothy carbonation, slightly creamy, to a bitter finish. Big lingering cocoa nibs and a tang of some red berries. Good beer.

Bardzo bardzo dobry porter. Mnostwo czekolady, angielskiego puddingu, trufli w czekoladzie. Kolor czerwony przeswitujacy, ciemny, brak metnosci, piana srednia ale dobrej jakości. Aromatyczne zwłaszcza czekolada i kakao. Smaczne. A na koniec tego deseru otrzymujemy przyjemna wytrawna goryczke, która nieco wyhamowuje ten kakaowy smak. Eleganckie.
