Very black with fluffy soapy head and soft lace. Medium sweet chocolate and malt aroma. Somewhat overcarbonated and medium at best mouthfeel. Certainly chocolately but drying finish. CHocolate aftertaste.

Thin dark with very champange like head. dissapears quick. very prickly, nose gets better with a little warming more coffee. to thin to odd, for the first time in a long time i couldn’t finish the bottle. Had at Volo

A dark porter with a thick big bubbled moka head, receeding quickly. A nice moka chocolate aroma with notes of vanilla. In mouth, loads of chocolate, like Nestle Quick, sustained. Overall, a bit thinner than expected. Bieropholie Import.

Bière noire très opaque, bière d’encre. Col très très abondant et persistant, une mousse riche et meringué, de bulles perlées de couleur café au lait. C’est une bière magnifique, appétissante! Le parfum est dominé par le café et non le chocolat, il rappel la terre, le lichen avec des soupçons métalliques. La mousse est surette et gouteuse. Pas le choix de passer par la mousse en premier car la bière se cache loin dessous... La première gorgée est surprentante, bière spontanée et intense. J’ai été saisi par la carbonation intense qui pousse les saveurs dans toute la bouche en une franction de seconde. Il y a pas mal de café et de céréales grillées, avec des notes terreuses et de cuir. Le chocolat n’est pas dominant. C’est une expérience qui vaut la coup!

This porter poured a black colour with a thick brown creamy head. To the nose there was coffee, cocoa, roasted malts and a nutty scent. First taste was smooth and creamy with immediate cocoa flavour. Slightly watery mouthfeel but with lingering coffee / roasted malt flavour. Very smooth and flavourful. Palate was roasted coffee flavour that lasted...

8/24/2007: Phillips Longboat Double Chocolate Porter is dark chocolate brown in color (near black) and opaue. It has a nice 2-finger foamy tan/brown head that quickly diminishes. The aroma is very rich and has tons of chocolate goodness. It smells like caramlized hot cocoa and is simple mouth-watering! The flavor is mostly chocolate with a hint of sweetness. There really isn’t any hopes of bitterness in the flavor though. The only real flaw of this beer is its medium-light body. It has a soft palate and a moderate level of carbonation which is good for the style, but it just neds more body to counteract the spotty thin and watery characteristics!

650 mL bottle (5.2% Alc/Vol. / Marked: 2 D[ec]) from Swans Beer & Wine Shoppe (C$5.45) in Victoria, BC, Canada and enjoyed at the Ambrosia Historic Bed & Breakfast Retreat (also in Victoria, BC, Canada). Rating #49 for this beer...

Dark brown body with thick, brown, creamy, luscious head. Deep chocolate dust notes play up the bouquet, segueing into a definite chocolate accented flavor. Not as heavy as expected, but creamy, smooth, and chocolatey. Wet finish.
