First, sorry to style this as an English Porter; but it actually is very close with the "stale" blended so distinctly with the young brew. And its low use of hops certainly keeps it out of the American Porter style. (UnTappd styles Plum Porter as Porter-Other. Fair enough.)
While this hardly is a brew for food, food made it better. Plum Porter's stale comes on too strong for me. How else to counter than with some chocolate, specifically some McVittie's HobNobs, a nice oat cookie draped in milk chocolate. I also can detect why Holy Goat calls this porter, "Plum." It has that full mouth Feel I'd associate with squished plums.
My first from Holy Goat, so they get my micro-review: they have great artwork for a two year old. (A little macabre for my tastes, but I've seen that before from Scotland.) And interestingly, they are dedicated to using Brett... which explains the strength of this porter's "stale," or perhaps barnyard is a better term. At any rate, Holy Goat is just starting and their focus on Brett makes them close to unique in Scotland. Slainte' !
