Hobson's Postman's Plum Porter

A local brew today, made with damsons not true plums


Appearance

Dark reddy brown with a touch of purple. Off white disappearing heaf

Aroma

Dark malt and then comes the damsons, which compete with hops and win in the end.

Taste

Starts fruity but only for a moment then dark roasted malt comes to the fore, then some spicy hops with fruitiness like the skin of the plum and final bitter finish, with a tiny hint of fruit.

Overall

Lovely beer could drink a lot of this! 8/10 look out for it hope they do it again next year
