Creamy tan head on a near black body. Plum & blueberry aroma. Creamy, soft & clean. Plum, blueberry, malt, sugar & bitter tastes. Lovely.

Cask at Crewe Dog, Crewe. Pours a very dark reddish-brown with a small cream head. There’s some plumminess in the aroma, alongside malts and a hint of chocolate. Sweetness is what its first in the mouth. Quite a dose of plums here, but it’s not overdone. Malts feature strongly as well alongside traces of liquorice and wine gums and a little underlying sharpness. Later on vanilla comes through as well, but sweetness still dominates the finish. This is one of the better plum porters – nicely restrained and not too in your face.

Handpull cask at Blues Dawg, Mapperley, Nottingham. It is dark indigo and slightly translucent with a rhick khaki head. Light plum aroma, some dark chocolate. Tastes sweet but not sickly with the plum jotes creating a balance to the malty backbone. Full body with soft carbonation. What can I say? I'm a suckered for these types of beers.

Cask @ Mallinsons Corner House, Huddersfield. Reddy-brown with a creamy off-white head and a stated sweet darker malts which are slightly roasted. Plum is more than evident and very stated in its aftertaste.
