AFTER a long day in the paddock Jens Waldenmayer's donkey likes nothing better than to kick back with a cold beer.

Known simply as 'Donkey' Mr Waldenmayer's pet is famous among residents of Spencer Road at Darwin River for his impartiality for a Light Ice.

But don't serve it up to him in a red stubbie cooler - the colour makes him nervous.

Despite Donkey's generous beer belly, the thirsty ass was quick on his hooves when Mr Waldenmayer cracked open a coldie to demonstrate his pet's quirky habit to the Northern Territory News.

Donkey sprinted for the beer, sucking down most of the stubbie before pulling it out of his owner's hand.
