Draught Quite lacey, shards left over deep, almost clear brown-amber beer. Dry wood, plywood, dried chocolate, autumn leaves. Sweeter chocolate, still some black chocolate, chocolate bar with raisins or dried plums. Chewy, oily, viscous. Medium carbonation. Nothing new despite the idea.

Black beer with a thick tan head. Plummy aroma. Flavour is sweet with the fruit up front, has some chocolate, a good malty base. A hint of rye but really it's just a simple but very tasty plum porter with some well balanced, punchy flavours over a very decent body. It's very good.
