A dark, sweet, full-bodied plum porter. Background notes of damson and blackcurrant are followed by the fruitiness of the plum in flavour and aroma.

Black beer, filmy head. Fruity aroma. taste is fruity with bitter malt. Not a hell of a lot to it but it's rich, different and decent.

500ml bottle from Morrison's. Dark brown with a moderate off white head. Aroma is soft, sweet plums, slightly artificial. Flavour is plum, sweetness and a little spice. Too sweet though, definitely not my thing

From tap. Pours pitch black. Small brown heqd. Aroma is toasted and slight chocolate malty. Toffee. Bitter, bubblegum like.herbal. Peachy to plums. Strange. Dry and plums finish. Slight herbal.

Draft. A black beer with a lazing dark brown head. The aroma has notes of plums, chocolate, and roasted malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of plum, malt, chocolate, and a bit of smoke, leading to a dry roasted finish.

Bottle, 500 ml, shared with Max and JFK10000. Pours brown, small off-white head. Plum, caramel, malty. Quite artificial and sweet. Light bodied. Watery. Clusterfuck.

Bottle, Vrutak. Black, prickly, fizzy tan head. Sugary plum jam aroma gummy candy, metallic. Taste... what the fuck. Vague roast, bitterish. Toothpaste / listerine / licorice. Maybe plum. Dry and light. Too much licorice with fine but clashing roast. Just damn strange.

0.5 l bottle from Vrutak, Zagreb. Shared with Marko. Thanks. Black with a small off-white head. Aroma is plum dumplings and metal. Sugary. Taste is sweet with roasty flavours. Gummy plum candy. Fake-ish. Light to medium body, soft to moderate carbonation and light dry finish. Mistakes were made but it has some potential.

4.6% alk, šljivastična piva. Ne mogu reći da je nešto ekstra dobra jer nije, ali vrlo je zanimljiv tak miks šljive i pive. Okus i miris podsjećaju na sušene šljive. Vrijedi probati.

Bottled 500ml. -from Vrutak Zagreb. Black coloured, medium sized brownish head, artificial and perfumed plum in the nose. Light roasted malt, caramel, heavy artificial plum with notes of marzipan and brown sugar. Bottle of 0.5l is too much for this.

0,5 l bottle. Pours dark brown with minimal light tan head that dissipates almost immediately. Aroma of prunes, chocolate, coffee and a bit of toasted malt. Prunes come forward as beer warms up. Flavor is much more toward plumes. Not nearly as pleasant as aroma. Taste is light to medium sweet and light bitterness. Body is medium, texture slick and carbonation average. Finish is short, more plums and some bitterness. Aroma is most pleasant part of this beer, but plum aroma and flavor seems a bit artificial.
