Back in December my friend C had a bunch of girls over for a girls night where she cooked us lots of little yummy appetizers, drank wine and talked all night. One of my friends didn’t drink wine though, not that it’s a bad thing. In fact I have been thinking about her beverage of choice non-stop and wishing I had a case of it right now in my hot little hands.  She brought a bottle of Phillips beer is made in Victoria BC and they have a lot of wonderful offerings that are both unique and traditional.

Being a port I had the feeling that it would be extremely heavy, thick and that I wouldn’t want more than a couple sips. Turns out it’s actually more like dark ale, except with very little hoppiness. The chocolate finish isn’t as subtle as one might think, it actually is quite chocolaty but that could be because of the ports maltiness. I drank this without food but I could imagine pouring this onto some vanilla ice cream and dying a little bit from tastiness, if people could die from tasty things.  I can’t wait to get my hands on some more!
