More about Exmoor Beast ... Beast by name and Beast by nature, this exquisitely strong-willed, full-bodied dark porter first saw daylight in the autumn of 1992. Inspired by the fireside tales of wild cats roaming the moors of Exmoor and a continuation of a beer style that emerged in the 1700s and was named after its popularity with London porters, this complex and heady brew has been a continual favourite of beer fans up and down the country.

Brewed with a mix of pale ale, chocolate and crystal malts, and hopped with Goldings, Challenger and Brewers Gold, it is dark mahogany-brown in colour, with the merest hint of crimson tints at its edge. Lush rich aromas of toffee, treacle. Mocha coffee, vinous fruit and chocolate swirl above the glass.

 

There’s more complexity on the palate with rich fruitcake, a hint of rum, more Mocha coffee, an herbal hoppiness, vinous fruit, while the bittersweet finish is smooth yet complex, rich but not cloying. Try it with ice cream where the vanilla flavours work well with the bittersweet richness of the porter; it is also ideal for a ripe Stilton or even as part of the mix for a rich winter stew. Its also wonderful in a Fruitcake with whisky icing.

Product Origin; Wiviliscombe, Somerset

Whats it like;  It’s dark ruby, almost blood-like in colour with a lovely, full creamy mocha lacing, almost like a porter. The Exmoor Beast gets that colour – and its molasses and raisin nose, from its use of Chocolate and Crystal malt. Challenger and Goldings provide the bittering and aromatic hop content.

The taste is filling and deeply satisfying. It’s full bodied and it displays powerful cinnamon spice and clove hits with an oily aftertaste that’s almost reminiscent of an oyster stout.

Alcohol %; 6.6
