Elgoods plum porter is 500 Ml and 4.5 % ABV. I was impressed with the smell and interesting taste of this ale. It has a nice fruity taste and a slightly sour but pleasant aftertaste.
David Goater –
Fantastic! A great fruity plum taste which complements the lasting hoppy finish. A new favourite of mine.
Stujago –
A malty, bitter, nutty porter complemented well by a plum flavour.
DAVID BLYTHE –
A very enjoyable beer. Slightly sour but very nice tasting.
David Hanson –
Decent plum porter, strong fruit flavour with nuttiness and a good hit of sourness.
Adam Randall –
Very drinkable porter, plenty of clean, plummy flavour alongside roasty edges. Tastes like they’ve used essence rather than whole fruit (no dry, tannin-like flavours for example), so while it’s quite enjoyable, there are more authentic examples out there.
Mark Gadsby –
Has a strong plum taste, albeit very much on the sweet side. Also has a slight ale taste to it rather than a porter (lighter & bubblier as opposed to heavy and flat). Worth a try if you’re after a porter with a lighter, sweeter more bubbly taste.

i never got a particularly strong plum flavour from this, unlike the other reviews. if i didn’t know it was a plum porter i dont think i would have picked up on it. it’s still a very nice beer tho and i’d get it again. would be nice with a bit more plum but i liked it anyway.
Peter –
A pleasant enough porter
Alan Sinclair –
Very pleasant plum porter. Fruity and slightly sour.
Neil Lynch –
nice subtly flavoured beer
Gordon McGeachie –
A wonder fully smooth brew, I have yet to find a porter that I dont like, and I can rank this as one of the top ones.
A definite 10/10
Graham Horne –
Very tasty, but not the most distinctive of plum tastes. A nice beer though
Matthew W –
Pours near black with small beige head with nice lacing. Aroma of roasted malts, dusty chocolate, fruity plum. Taste follows the same path – roasty, cocoa dusting, fruity plum but a well balanced adjunct addition, a light grassy and spicy hop. Medium bodied, semi-drying. Good stuff.
