We have brought together a small team to celebrate the country's culinary culture and raise funds to support those impacted by the war. Working with celebrated London based Ukrainian chef Olia Hercules we put together a recipe for this plum & buckwheat Baltic porter.

The can is adorned with the beautiful artwork of Nastya Malkina and 100% of the profits of this beer are donated to Action Against Hunger to support their work in Ukraine.

10/2/2024. Can shared by ITFCDan. Pours close to black with a small beige head. Aroma is very plummy, sweet malts, chocolate, caramel, milk sugars, hint of seaweed. Quite sweet with moderate bitterness and light sours. Moderate body, oily, average to soft carbonation.

440ml can from Vinny & Ted, Chalfont St Peter. Poured almost black with a short-lived, frothy tan head. The aroma is roasted malt, light plums. The flavour is moderate liqourice bitter, light sour, with a smooth, rich, earthy, grainy, big tart plum palate. Over medium bodied with average carbonation. Nice, but a little heavy on the plums.

Creamy tan head on a still black body. Wet cardboard, damp & malt aroma. Medium bodied, soft over the tongue with a clean back. Berries, umami, HP sauce, plum & jam tastes with a tangy saline finish. Quite moorish.

Definitely getting some plum. Smooth ruch thick mouthfeel, but nothing that is clearly buckwheat.
