The brewery: "Cheddar Ales began its artisan brewing activities in October 2006 and is based at Winchester Farm on the edge of Cheddar village, near the famous Cheddar Gorge."
The beer: "Created in 2007 and named after a cave at the top of Cheddar Gorge. Legend has it that the cave was unearthed using a potty as a digging tool. Various Mesolithic artifacts were found but the young son of the cave finder couldn`t pronounce potty and insisted on calling it his totty pot. Multi award medal-winning bottle-conditioned Dark Porter with hints of roasted coffee and a creamy malt finish. Brewed using the highest quality Pale Ale, Maris Otter, Chocolate, Crystal, Wheat and Roasted Malts and hopped with a blend of English Northdown and Goldings hops."
Of course, the name had me sniggering like a school boy but this was another fine dark ale - very moreish. 4.5% A.B.V.
