Longboat
A chocolate porter, deep brown with a tan head. Chocolate dominates the aroma with subtle coffee behind it, and the mouthfeel is velvety, carried by a light nut-roasted bitterness. Natural flavour appears in the ingredient list, which is unusual for the range. It is the only beer Phillips still sells in 650 millilitre bottles.
