We took a base of Munich & Vienna malts, then layered it with a mix of specialty malts to create a rich wort that was then whirlpooled with Cocoa husks to amplify the chocolate notes from the malts. Fermented with lager yeast and cold conditioned till we were left with a rich and smooth chocolate character.

Svart. Lavt tett sjokoladefarget skum som daler sakte. Litt lacing. Aroma av melkesjokolade. Inviterende. Myk munnfølelse. Smaken lakris, nøtter og sjokolade. Kakao i en forsiktig bitter avslutning.

Burnt Mill Big Sur Moon Cocoa Porter 4.2% Cola black pour with ruby highlights and a thick rocky head of fluffy tan foam. The aroma is very roasty and the taste is dark chocolate and the finish gives you cocoa powder. Light bodied and silky smooth. A solid Porter.

Cask at the Southampton Arms, London on 15th December 2022. Sepia black with tan foam and scant lacing. Coffee roast malt aroma with dark chocolate. An unsweetened cocoa and coffee beans blend in-mouth and a rich roasty finish. Medium full bodied with a smooth mouthfeel. Superb.
