Thornbridge&#8217;s Cocoa Wonderland has an almost majestic look to it and a promise of desserty fun.  Will this be another highlight of my weekend?  There have been fascinating and fun metro visits, and now a tasty looking can before me.

It&#8217;s more chocolate in scent than coffee, but there is a hint of a warmer brew lurking.  It delivers on the name, full mouth of chocolate, not sickly sweet but not weighed down by earth or smudged by smoke.  It isn&#8217;t thin and vapory, which I appreciate, but has a round body that sits perfectly on the tongue and rolls down the throat.  This is quite a companion beer, something that works well alone, with a snack (I&#8217;m imagining dark chocolate or pretzels), in a group of friends, all alone in contemplation.  The options are many.  I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ve grown or shrunk, by the way, but maybe there needs to be a rabbit around for things to work.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/letslearn.beer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/P9100672-scaled-e1757540159402-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1656\" style=\"width:372px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/letslearn.beer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/P9100672-scaled-e1757540159402-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/letslearn.beer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/P9100672-scaled-e1757540159402-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/letslearn.beer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/P9100672-scaled-e1757540159402-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/letslearn.beer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/P9100672-scaled-e1757540159402-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/letslearn.beer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/P9100672-scaled-e1757540159402-9x12.jpg 9w, https:\/\/letslearn.beer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/P9100672-scaled-e1757540159402.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Supplier: La Mundial<br>Price: \u20ac5.90<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s amazing how the days are noticeably shorter in a week, just the opposite as in the spring.
