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!
