Created in 2007 and named after a cave perched atop the majestic Cheddar Gorge, Totty Pot carries with it a delightful legend: the cave was unearthed using nothing more than a potty as a digging tool. While various Mesolithic artifacts were discovered, the young son of the cave finder struggled to pronounce "potty" and affectionately dubbed it his “totty pot.”
This multi-award-winning, bottle-conditioned Dark Porter captivates the senses with its rich hints of roasted coffee and a velvety malt finish.
Brewed with the utmost care, it features a blend of the finest Pale Ale, Maris Otter, Chocolate, Crystal, Wheat, and Roasted Malts, harmoniously combined with a selection of English Northdown and Goldings hops.
With an ABV of 4.5%, Totty Pot offers a smooth and indulgent drinking experience that pays homage to its intriguing origins. Enjoy this exceptional brew and let it transport you to the enchanting world of Cheddar Gorge!

Bottle (4.5%), present from my brother – drank at home. Pours a very dark mahogany with minimal transient beige head. There’s roasted malts and chocolate in the aroma plus traces of berry fruits. In the mouth the initial reaction is to the extreme bitterness of roasted malts and coffee grounds, but after this wears off a little sweetness can be detected. There’s also hints of dark fruits, fudge, milky chocolate and ash. Bitterness lasts into the dry finish. This is very nice.

Bottle online from The Cheddar Brewery. Pours black with a medium sized thick creamy beige head. Aromas of chocolate, bovril, dry dark fruits, blueberries and sweet toffee. Taste has the same notes detected in the aroma with added roasted malts, a tiny bit of sweetness and some ashy notes on the finish. Medium body, low carbonation and smooth mouthfeel. Good solid Porter without being great.

Keighley & Worth Valley Beer Festival 2017. Very dark in colour with medium roasted malts. It’s a crisp enough ale to drink.
