Main Street Brewing – Barking Mad Plum Porter
 

After a week off, we’re back with Volume 4 of our #PourOfTheWeek series. This week’s beer of choice is the Barking Mad Plum Porter from Main Street Brewing (ABV: 5 % | IBU: 15).

There’s no better way to celebrate the transition from summer to fall than pouring a delicious porter. Don’t even think about buying me a pumpkin spice latte! The folks at Main Street Brewing have made the switch from drinking patio beers to couch beers a little easier with some hefty plum additions to this beer. When I think of porters, I expect a full-bodied beer with rich flavours. However, the Barking Mad Plum Porter goes is a combination of a lighter fruit-forward beer and a traditional porter. This makes for a fairly easy-drinking yet complex beer that is sure to surprise some people.

Up front, this beer has a nice plum flavour and mild tartness, followed by chocolate notes and a biscuit malt taste. This combination through me off a little at first, but after a few more sips I really started to enjoy this beer. The plum additions became more pronounced as it warmed.
