Answers.Text: Maybe Altbier can clarify which beer it is, because Titanic Plum Porter contains natural plum flavouring, this is stated everywhere online, and I'm sure, also on the label.

Body: <p>I had a plum porter lately, it has a really intense plum flavor and aroma and even a bit of plums in the taste, so I thought there were some plum products in it. However, there is nothing in ingredients list which could give the plum note to the drink.</p>
  <p>How does the plum falvor originate here?</p>

  It's probably a combination of certain hops and yeasts. Some kinds of ale yeasts are known to add a plummy flavour to a beer (WLP500 for example). And also hops like golding or empire can go into this direction.
  
  The dominant exotic fruit taste in e.g. IPAs usually also doesn't originate from actual fruits, but from hops and yeast.
