Malty 4.2% ABV bitter which is chestnut in colour with a slightly nutty hint. Hops balance the maltiness to provide a well rounded best bitter. Tavistock Estate is built on the site of the Cotterell Brickworks. Looking at Old Maps shows the brickworks were built some time between 1882 and 1899. The clay soil was ideal for making bricks and the pond that sits on the corner of Stanlake Lane and Ruscombe Lane was probably created when clay was extracted. During the Second World War, brickmaking was not a priority so the brickworks closed in 1939 and never reopened.

Handpump at White Horse on Parson's Green in London. Clear copper color bright, tick off white foam. Nose: nutty as hell, tart hazelnut skin, green pistachios. Wow! Mouth: more nuts, hazelnuts, balanced nutty soul. Great! ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Cask at CPK, London. Pours clear amber with a small, white foam head. Lightly toasted bread aroma. Light swet flavor, doughy malts, faint toasty grains, light brown sugar. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Good condition. Moderately sweet finish, more toasty dough, mellow brown sugar. Simple. Very tasty bitter.
