Plum Porter
A sumptuous nose of raisin and plum opens this porter, followed by a rich fruitiness and a soft body that gives way to warming vanilla. It is an October seasonal at 4.7 %, brewed in the flint barn at Church Farm in the South Downs, with water from the chalk aquifer below, on a farm where the brewery grows its own barley.
