This is the final Evans tap being profiled in the collection. It is a big mountain of chocolate with rail cars transporting chunks of chocolate to the brewery via rail tracks. And like all the other Evans taps, the brewery's name appears on a sign near the bottom of the tap, while the beer name is carved into the top part. And also like the other Evans taps, this has not appeared on the secondary market to my knowledge.

This robust porter is profoundly smooth with a full body. The chocolate and roasted malt give a punch of chocolate flavor with a hint of coffee that gives a pleasant finish but leaves you craving for more. The chocolate mines supply Evans with the necessary ingredients to make this ale. Miners use sticks of dynamite to blow chunks of chocolate into rail cars heading straight to the brewery. They mine the most chocolate and espresso flavor from select grains to produce a massive chocolate flavor that rolls over the tongue into a gentle finish with a hint of espresso. ChocoLatte aims to please those with a cocoa addiction.
