Based on our multi-award winning Plum Porter, Grand Reserve is a darker, stronger special edition beer we produce in limited volumes in the winter. Its matured in our conditioning tanks for 21 days. The longer process and added strength gives this beer an even deeper, richer flavour. The perfect fireside pint on a dark, winter’s night!
A connoisseur’s version of Plum Porter. Expect the same fruity, sweet tones with a stronger, more intense, matured taste. One to savour.

Pours a reddish brown colour with a small frothy beige head. The aroma is fruity, lots of plum, sweet malt and fruitcake. A smooth light sweet taste, stewed plum and sweet malt flavours with subtle chocolate and woody notes. A smooth mellow bitterness and more plum in the finish.

Cask in a bottle delivered from the Blue Boar and drunk at home. Purplish brown and translucent with no head. Odd aroma: plum, yes, with other notes of earth, and maybe a little bit of sick. Hmmm. Taste brings up no such mixed emotions. Sweet and sumptuous lime homemade plum wine. The finish is bitter and maybe that little bit astringent. Full oily body, no discernible carbonation. I'd say this is a bit more of a mixed bag than its sessioable predecessor but enjoyable all the same.

Cask at Hogshead, Wolverhampton Pours a very dark brown with a small cream head and good lacing. Nose is a distinctive aroma of boozy, rotting, fermenting plums. More plums in the mouth, along with fruitcake and roasted malts. Finish is plums with a hint of ginger, and a warming alcoholic streength. A classic winter warmer.

Half-pint on cask at Black Horse in Preston. Shared with Finn. A fawn-coloured head blanketing the glass. Rosewood body. Dark plums on the nose, inviting. Mixed taste of dark malts, dark plums and oak, not overly sweet. Lingering ending of dark plums. Rounded mouth feel and well bodied. Enjoying. (09.02.2019).
