This smooth and satisfying premium ale is burnished gold in colour, and certainly has made a few friends in its time. Brewed using Maris Otter and Crystal malts, flaked barley, malted wheat, and locally grown Fuggles, Goldings and Bramling Cross hops.

Plum Porter - 4.9%

Plum Porter

Titanic

4.9% abv

This beer is dark strong and well rounded; the richness of such a rotund beer is brought to an even keel by the late addition of Goldings hops and natural plum flavouring. Take the opportunity and go for the low hanging fruit, this sumptuous beer really is a plum!

The porters scurry around loading the passenger's bags building up a tremendous thirst. When the day is done their preferred tipple is, like this beer, dark strong and well rounded.

Brewed with English Maris Otter malted barley, and a combination of English hops and American hops (Target & Amarillo).

Its first hit is quite a harsh bitterness, but then followed by beautiful fruity mouth feel, and floral aroma.
