Well-rounded porter with fruity, sweet notes over a backdrop of hoppy flavour. Deep red in colour but not in taste, the plum lightens the depth on the palate.

Bottle. Black with shades of red and an ok white beige head. Aroma of plums and black currants. Taste of roasted malts, plums, fruit dragees, black currants and hints of chocolate. Sour-ish, juicy and fruity. Moderate bitterness. Low carbonation. Well it is what it is but a tad too fruity for me.

Ribena Ruby with a thin head. Aroma of blackcurrant. Flavour is fruit porter, plum and grape, smooth texture, bitter malty background. Interesting mix.

500ml bottle. Pours a deep brown with a ruby tint, tan head. Aroma is plum but very bubblegummy, seems like it'll be sweet as hell. Taste is very plummy but it's a sweet, artificial like bubblegum kind of plum, there's some dark malts there but this is all about the plum, finishing with an oddly sharp bitter tang. Light-medium bodied. Very nice but I'm sure this would be so much better conditioned on plums rather than having plum flavouring added to it.

Mahogany, tan creamy head. Fruity aroma, a little perfumed. Rich and fruity balanced taste, long piney aftertaste

(Bottle) Pours very dark brown with small light tan head. Aroma of stewed plums. Medium body with plenty of soft carbonation. Bitter dark roast grain, stewed plums. Pleasant but a bit odd

Cask. Deep amber colour with a creamy mediumsized off-white head. Aroma is plum, some bubblegum tones along with ripe fruits and some slight nutty notes. Flavour is plum, nutty, mild toasted as well as some dried fruity notes. Sweetish. And close that I wrote artificial plum to this one.

GBBF Day 2. Cask. A light haze on this deep cherry red beer, good pale tan head. Smooth palate, soft and airy, reasonable fine carbonation. Soft creamy malts, a modest dark chocolate vibe, very modest. Reasonable fruity plum, juicy. Fairly dry finish. Nicely plummy but fairly dry.
