Description
A shaggy companion, this is a man-best-friend of a porter. A coat of beautiful deep mahogany is filled with gruff notes of chocolate, caramel and distinctly British Maris Otter base malt. Its persistently fluffy head lolls into a smooth, creamy body. Tame enough for a few rounds of fetch, this laid-back sipper is surprisingly complex for such a low-gravity beer. It's not the bee knees, it's not even the cat's meow, it's better than that. It's the Mutt's Nuts.

Bready, toasty malt aroma with a hint of roastiness. Low hop aroma and medium-low esters. No diacetyl.
