Badlands Brewery Darkness London Porter

Pouring an impenetrable cola, with a warm and comforting chestnut head, Darkness boats aromas of milk chocolate, sultanas and sticky toffee pudding. On the tongue, this London porter has the enchanting effect of whisking the lucky sipper into a warm, wood-clad pub, almost convincing you it's been hand-pumped despite the fact you opened the can yourself just seconds ago.

Balanced notes of cold brew coffee, sultanas and chocolate milk dance courtesy of a medley of six roasted malts in a complex and intriguing beer aptly named for a city that's home to stunning pints – one you should seek out if an airfare to London is not on the cards.
