Description
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.

Cask at The Park Tavern, Eltham. Not had this for many moons, remember seeing this a lot at the Catford Beer Festival back in the 90s. Anyway, nose is toffee, dried fruit, orange marmalade. Taste is toffee, sultanas, whack of orange peel. Sweet malty feel. Good stuff.
