(Bottle) Pours clear deep brown with no head. Lovely fruity aroma. Medium body with nice fine bright carbonation. Great taste with lovely balance between the rich sweet fruit and the dark toffee flavours. Very nice.

500ml bottle. Poured a clear dark brown colour with a short-lived, frothy off-white head. The aroma is red berry fruits and light roasted malt. The flavour is moderate liqourice bitter, light sweet, with a smooth, light tart, blueberry, blackberry, raspberry, light spicy, hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with average to soft carbonation.

Bottle from Morrisons. Near black in colour, with a thin, tan, head. Sweetish, caramel and chocolate notes, some toastiness, prune and red berry fruits, leading to a roasted malt finish. Drinable, if a bit sweet for me.

500ml bottle called 'Dark Fruits Porter'. Pours dark ruby-near black, small white beige head, good retention. Roasted malts, plum, blackberry, chocolate. Semi sweet, light bitterness in the finish. Light to moderate body. Not a full on flavoured porter but still very tasty.

500ml bottle: BBE Sep 2021. The 'Salem Brew' has been dropped for the bottled version and it's 4.6% ABV and just called 'Dark Fruits Porter'. Obtained from my local Morrisons, drank at home on 1st Oct 2020. Black bodied, thin head. As the name suggests there is a dark fruit front to this interesting Porter, black/red berries mainly for me. I really enjoyed this, my first new beer from Batemans for some time and it's a very good addition to their portfolio.

20/2/2020. Cask at the Chelmsford Winter Beer & Cider Festival 2020. Pours mid-dark brown with a bubbly off-white head. Aroma of blackberry, plummy dark fruits, sweet malt, cherry bakewell pie and light chocolate. Medium sweetness and moderate bitterness with a light tart edge. Moderate body. Dry, pastry finish. Liked this.
