Tap at Popeye. Dark brown with hint of red, not much head. Aroma is bitter chocolate, slightly burnt, touch of coffee too. Taste is chocolate, creamy, little bit of dark fruitiness. Very nice. Smooth and very drinkable.

Tap at burger mania ebisu. Served too cold but let it warm up. Dark cacao nose with some roasted malt and raisin notes. Average carbonation with a lightish body. More chocolate on the palate. Balanced finish. Not bad. --- Beer merged from original tick of Shonan Chocolate Porter on 29 Feb 2016 at 13:01 - Score: 7.

At the Yokohama Brewer’s Cup, it pours an opaque black with a minimal tan head. It has a decent chocolate aroma and looks nice. A mild mouthfeel, easy to drink with chocolate at first and then had a bit of a burnt aftertaste. A very solid chocolate porter. Good.

Bottled, thanks TimE! Completely blsck, huge creamy head. Chocoatey roasty nose. Mid sweet with medium body and rounded, spritzy mouthfeel. Lots of coffee and chocolate without ever overloading it. Salty bitterish finish. Really good!

Pitch black with a low, hard, tan head. Aroma of chocolate and cocoa, with a bit of coffee, and roasted malt. Creamy, relatively dry. Big, creamy mouth of chocolate and hazelnuts, burnt wood too. Very rich and flavorful, with a strong roasted bitter finish.

Deep brown with little head. Sweet chocolate malts, caramel, toasty/roasted malts, light sourness. Medium bodied. Smooth with a light bittersweet finish. Very tasty porter- glad I finally got a pint. (Cask at Pangea)

Dark brown color. Heavy cocoa, mocha and baked cake aroma. Very rich nose. Excellent. Huge roasty mouth, with cacao, brownies, but a bit unbalanced. Still good depth. Solid bitter finish with lingering cacao notes. Needs a bit more body, but other wise great.
