This Porter is lovingly brewed by the fantastic Wiper and True.
This tasty brew comes in a 440ml can and is 7.6% ABV.
This is a truly indulgent beer. With a recipe
laced with dark toasted malts, dried fruits and lemon zest, a six month stint in oak cognac barrels elevates things to a whole new level. Distinctive notes of rich dried prunes linger at the fore,
with sweet marzipan flavours adding to the festive feel. Store and serve chilled.

Gorgeous, guaranteed a face flush!

Simply delicious, plum pudding is an excellent choice of a flavour to combine with a porter, giving a rich and complex flavour palate but not overwhelming.

A very indulgent Porter and one for special occasions. Dried fruits, plums, prunes, marzipan, with hints of port and the cognac barrel coming through in smell and taste

Really enjoyed the regular Plum pudding porter, which wasn't too dark and definitely featured the dark stone fruit flavours, putting it closer to a mild than many modern porters. The same flavours are here, and it's nice to see the barrel aging adding slightly bitter oak flavours, unlike so many barrel aged beers where the wood becomes the overbearing dominant flavour. Ultimately though, not sure this is better than the normal version.

A bit disappointed. Super rich taste but thin
Scott –
Doesn't live up to the hype
Lloyd –
Complexity but maybe a tiny bit thin considering the initial boozey dried fruit you get up front.
Joe –
Christmas in a can. Similar to Titanics but a bit stronger
Michael –
Really lovely, liquid equivalent of a bear hug or an open fire.

Very interesting plum taste.

Aromas of roasted malt, stewed prunes and fruity plums. Pours black in the glass. The last of the Christmas beers, this starts dry and fruity, almost like a port. You have the sweet, fruity taste of stewed prunes and subtle, bitter & fruity plum flavour in the background. In the forefront you have a smooth and dry rich malt that ties in nicely with the plum flavour. I didn't like this in the first couple of sips, but by the time I finished it, it had grown on me. Fruity & bitter plum against the malty flavour profile of a porter just works so well. It's giving me big hits of sherry/port.
