Plum Noir’s mild sweetness is derived no necessarily from the many malts we use. A bit of plum flavor is present as well as earthy, toasted grains, & hints of caramel with mild coffee overtones.

Had a sample of this at Mikkeller & Friend’s in Copenhagaen last year, I thought I already rated it... anyways, on tap. A nice dark inky black pour with minimal head. The aroma was roast coffee notes, no plum. The taste was more of a straight up medium bodied porter again with no plum. If you put it in the name I expect to smell or taste it, if I don’t I consider the brewer missed the mark. A fine porter but no plum. The bartender couldn’t pick up on any plum either, we both seemed somewhat disappointed.

Keg at Craft Beer Co, Clapham, London. A black coloured pour with a thin beige head on top. Plum, chocolate aroma. Tastes of plum, some chocolate, caramel, slightly roasty/bitter/sweet. Expected more complexity from a Southern Tier beer but still quite drinkable.

Craft Clapham. Keg. Opaque black - brown beer with a small pale tan head. Palate is light and smooth, semi dry. Fine carbonation. Very light touch of dark malts, no roast or bitterness here. Whisper of chocolate. Mild fruity tang. Smooth but frankly disappointing. Not getting the normal Southern Tier sumptuousness or depth of flavour.

A dark clear brown porter with a thin brown head. In aroma, sweet chalky and fruity chocolate malt with light grassy hops. In mouth, a nice sweet fruity chocolate with light mineral notes, nice. OttBottShare Dec 15 2013.

Tap at Craft Clapham, opening night, 06/12/13. Mid black with a moderate tan covering. Nose is light roast, plummy undertones, dark fruit, sugars, light cocoa. Taste comprises chocolate, brown sugars, light plum evident, light roast. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Ok offering but lacking a little depth and complexity for an 8% number.

22 oz. bottle, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma brings out loads of plums, chalk, and coal. Flavour brings out lots of chalk and coal, very subtle plum notes and toasted bready notes. Way too chalky and coal-like, with a sludgy body. This is way off - not sure what they were going for here, but it didn't work. Not enjoyable.

Rating from October 2013...Bottle...This beer starts out bitter...the toffee, the coffee, the grains & no plum, what a shame....Pours dark brown with a small head...as it warms up I start to get so....a smooth body that switches to bitter effervescence....a hint of plum shows up...some more cocoa and some bitter coffee and earthy grain taste....a little caramel tucked away as well...kinda hidden in the bitter....not my favorite type of porter, but good

Bottle. Clear deep brown liquid with ruby hue and small tan head. Aroma of dried fruit, raw sugar, raisins, toffee, bread, biscuit, toast, licorice and light chocolate. Taste is light sweet and light bitter with notes of dried fruit, bread and licorice. Light to medium bodied with medium to high carbonation. Bit thin. Smells great but too light bodied.
