About
Cotleigh Brewery began life in Devon in 1979, in the old stable block of Cotleigh Farmhouse at Washfield near Tiverton. Immediate success meant that in 1980 the brewery moved to the historic brewing town of Wiveliscombe in Somerset. Its original owner Ted Bishop was succeeded in the early 80's by John and Jenny Aries, who built upon the brewery's success. The brewery moved in 1985 to the current location in order to fulfil ever-increasing demand. Currently is Stephen Heptinstall the sole owner of the Brewery.

On cask at the Standing Order. Appearance - golden with a decent head. Nose - elusive bit get some honey. Taste - more honey and then a stale note. Like astringent malt in a dank cellar. Palate - light to medium bodied bit the restof the palate is spoilt by the stale note. Overall - not sure about this one.

Cask hand pull at the crosse keys Jdw. A clear deep orange amber coloured pour with a thin white head. Aroma is sweet woodland berries, nutty malts with hints of twig. Flavour is composed of semi sweet nutty malts, simple, hiny of toffee, strawberry. Palate is mineral, semi sweet, decent cask condition, little thin. Lingering chalk, pretty boring. Little stale dishwater thing lingering in the finish. Meh.

Cask at the Bear (JDW), Maidenhead. A bright amber pour with a ring of white head; floral aroma with some berries; gentle fruity taste; then dry and biscuity; with a floral finish. Rather elegant.
