Thornbridge Cocoa Wonderland is a robust porter from Bakewell, Derbyshire, where real cacao blends with a complex malt foundation. Brewed from pale, Munich, brown, crystal, wheat and black malts, then finished with cacao nibs, it delivers a decadent chocolate character without the heaviness of traditional stouts. At 6.8% ABV, it achieves a full, smooth body that remains approachable.

In the glass, a near-black beer with a dense tan head. The nose reveals coffee, walnuts and dark bread, backed by subtle mocha and raisin notes. On the palate, roasted malt and bittersweet chocolate take the lead, balanced by the assertive bitterness of Magnum hops. The finish is smooth and creamy, with lingering coffee bitterness.
