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.

Cask at the Wellington, Birmingham. Poured a clear chestnut brown with a frothy off white head. The aroma is malt, heavy sweet plum. The flavour is moderate to strong sweet with a smooth, silky, dry, liquorice, alcohol, woody floral hop palate and a lingering bitter finish. Medium bodied with soft carbonation.

330ml bottle from Chez Sophie. Pours dark with ruby hints, no head at all. Plummy dark malt nose. Taste has a very light carbonation, lightly oily with that distinctive, smooth sweet plum porter character.. expected a bit more oomph but there's not a lot different to the original really

Bottle. Mitchell's Wines, Sheffield. Deep ruby red. Slim ring of off white head. Nose is stewed plums. Prunes and custard. Not a ton else. Taste is sweet, in a stone fruit kind of way. Bit estery and such. Soft carbonation. Medium, oily mouthfeel. Sweet finish, with more stone fruit. Ok.

Almost black with fluffy head. Aroma and flavour are full of sweet jam like plums. Dangerously easy to drink.

Pendle Beer Festival 2017. Very dark and strongish tasting, which negates some of the plum flavour which is prevalent in the original brew. Has a decent nose though.

Cask gravity at White Cliffs BF 2017. Black beer lasting tan head. Smell of stewed plums. Strong plum flavour. Really like slightly sour cold stewed plums. Fruit just about keeps on the right side. Plummy.
