Jul 29, 2004 A good brew. Roasty, malty flavours detected, but also some sweet dark fruit flavours.
It doesn’t feel like a 6.6% beer, which I found to my cost!
Very good.

Jul 26, 2003 Deep-brown, almost black. Really sweet buttery toffee malts, some slight roasty finish to give it some balance.I think theres too much butter toffee and raisins in there, really not my kind of beer.

Jul 18, 2003 Cask Conditioned. Beware the Beast for he creeps up on you. A big dark beer with roasted malt, chocolate, prunes. This does not drink its strength, the night was young and the warning signs were there, but we had to go and have a sesh. It drinks like a best bitter with more flavour, but boy when he kicks in. I don't like Exmoor Beast, I love it! as I've heard before in another context.

May 20, 2003 My first thought was that this beer underpunches. For a 6.6% it lacked the initial hit that beers of that strength usually have. Once I accepted this it became a quite reasonable drink.Slightly roast feel with other complex tastes seeping through.It boasts of being a winter beer winner- its a reasonable porter but certainly not a number one.

Mar 29, 2003 Exmoor is a microbrewery based in the old Hancock's brewery in Somerset. They started brewing in 1979 and have won a handful of decent awards since then. This is their winter warmer and was tried from the cask in Rochester. It's a dark, coca cola colour and has an initial cola taste - slightly fizzy with sweet caramel tones. It is quite sweet, and this sweetness becomes overbearing after a while.

Feb 22, 2003 Dark beer with an intial frothy coffee head. The aroma is very vineous with slight burnt elements. Fairly watery flavour with large hints of malt and a strong bitterness in the aftertaste. A good porter.
