Brewed with a carefully curated blend of Maris Otter, Munich, Vienna, and Cara malts, along with a touch of flaked oats for an exceptionally smooth mouthfeel, Piney Sleight is a true delight. The dynamic combination of Mosaic and Simcoe hops imparts enticing notes of ripe mango, luscious blueberry, and exotic passionfruit, all complemented by a subtle pine forest aroma that evokes the beauty of nature.
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.
