When I first started drinking craft beer about eight years ago, there was one beer in particular in those early days that stood out for me. It was a dark, rich porter with a lovely chocolate malt nose, a velvety, rich chocolate mocha flavour that coated my mouth and tongue that finished with a lingering chocolatey sensation.

That beer was the Holgate Temptress Chocolate Porter, and even though I’ve had some amazing beers since then, I’ll never forget how that first bottle of Temptress, well, tempted me to try even more craft beers, just to see what other amazing flavours I could get.
