Exmoor’s 25th anniversary in 2005 was celebrated in style with this chestnut-coloured bitter.
It includes a complex mix of four hops – Goldings, Bramling Cross, Northdown and WGV, plus a pinch of chocolate malt joining pale malt in the mash.

Cask at Hogs Back Tap. Slightly opaque chestnut. Thin translucent white head forms a 3mm thick band. Aroma is interesting - light caramel and dark fruits with delicate ginger. Flavourwise it's more basic - sour berries and spice over bready malts. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Soft carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Nice and apparently not brewed with spices.

Cask at the Cherub, Dartmouth, 28/08/21. Clear dark amber copper with a decent light beige head that stays for the show ... good lacing ensues. Nose is dark malts, dried fruit rinds, brown bread, light nutty essence. Taste comprises fruit slice, dates, toffee, brown bread, dates, biscuits. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, drying close. Decent bitter ... can't see why this one scores sub 3!?!

Two hand-pulled pints in The Mitre, Witheridge, Devon on 13th August 2021. Watched the landlord pull it through, so knew it was fresh on (in fact I had the third and sixth pint out of the cask). Deep golden amber body, clean and clear; weak, short lasting white head. Malty brew with a hint of bitterness towards the finish. My sweet tooth liked it. Half-pint Hand-pulled in a local Spoons on 8th July 2026.

Handpull cask at the Geldart, Cambridge. Honey brown colour, clear, very little head. Walnut and forest floor aromas combine with a jarring vegetal note. Sweetish malty taste with a marked astringency in the finish. Flat body. Not particularly keen.
