Maya Papaya Porter

Out baby cat Maya Papaya has gone missing. She's done it before and we found her 30 foot up a tree. And next time, where she fell though our neighbours roof.

But this time she has been gone for a month. And we miss her. So does her mum, Malika Paprika who sits looking out the cat flap for hours .And her friend Bathsheba, errr, Asfoetida.

So, I'm hoping the smell of this brings her back. And, if not, its a brewers remembrance of a lovely cat. You will always be welcome back Maya. And in a way, you've never left.


Based on the wonderful Proboscis Porter but with some crystal and chocolate wheat malt replacing some crystal and chocolate barley malt. And some dark DME.

Theres no papaya in it.
