#111 Cocktail: Dog's Nose

     The Dog's Nose is one of the oldest cocktail out there.
      It was mentioned in Charles Dickens's "Pickwick Papers" which, from what I know is his first book published. Also his great-grandson, Cedric Dickens, claimed in his book "Drinking with Dickens" that a certain Mr. Walker thought that tasting a Dog's Nose twice a week for twenty years had lost him the use of his right hand. Mr. Walker had since joined a temperance society.
      This is one of the strangest combination of drinks that I ever made. But this strange mixture, works great. And I am pretty sure that the drink is really good for when you have a runny nose......by the name

12 ounces stout or porter
2 ounces gin
2 tablespoons brown sugar
grated nutmeg
