Plum & Raisin Porter

◎ Appearance

Deep mahogany to near-black hue typical of the Porter style, with excellent clarity revealing the beer's refined malt character. A modest, tan head forms with good initial retention and fine Schaumhaftung down the glass. Carbonation is moderate and well-integrated, supporting a clean visual presentation.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with pronounced stone-fruit character—plum and raisin dominate, lifted by subtle hoppy notes that provide freshness and balance. Beneath the fruit lies a mellow base of dark malts with cocoa and chocolate undertones. The overall effect is inviting and modern, avoiding heaviness while maintaining genuine complexity.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and slightly sweet, with whole-fruit flavoring contributing genuine plum and raisin character rather than artificial adjunct notes. Mid-palate remains light-bodied yet flavorful, balancing malt sweetness against restrained bitterness (33 IBU) that keeps the beer refreshing. The finish is dry and clean, with lingering stone-fruit notes and a gentle hop bitterness.

◑ Finish

The finish is crisp and medium-length, with the porter's inherent warmth tempered by the beer's low alcohol. Aftertaste lingers pleasantly with dark malt, dried fruit, and a faint hoppy dryness.
