Thanks Simon. Mild smooth beginning. Creamy beginning. Caramel, soft grain. Hazelnuts with a creamy fruity finish. Soft grain, hints of red fruits, mild grainy hazelnuts in the end. Nice.

23/7/2022. Bottle from Beers of Europe, shared at the ITFC pre-season gathering. Probably the last ever time I'll open a Cotleigh bottle and ponder why they continued to use clear bottles right until the end. Poured clear dark golden with a frothy white head. Aroma was malty, caramel, butter, citrus, butterscotch, veg and starch. Quite sweet, light bitterness. Moderate body, watery, soft carbonation. Pretty much delivered everything I was expecting, but still a shame such a long standing brewery closed down.

Easy to drink beginning. Mild grainy, smooth sessionable with a grainy dry back. Mild dusty, grainy with a moderate grainy dry finish with not too much bitterness. Nice.

Cask at Shrewsbury Arms, Stafford – as Cotleigh Old Buzzard. Pours a dark reddish brown with a small cream head, good lacing and low carbonation. Aroma is creamy with roasted malts. Oddly enough in the mouth the first impression is juicy fruitiness, but that is quickly swallowed by peppers and spices (liquorice, aniseed, olde english spangles). The roasted malts are still there with hints of chocolate and toffee. This is what an Old Ale should taste like.

Bottle from Beers Of Europe. Appearance - golden amber. Slight haze. Big off white head. Nose - caramel, light pine. Vague note of grapefruit. Taste - creamy caramel with biscuit at the back. Not much citrus or pine to be found this time. Palate - light to medium bodied, a touch on the sweet side overall for the style. Overall - ok.

Bottle from Beers Of Europe. Appearance - golden with attractive white lacing. Nose - honey and caramel, an edge of lemon and malt. Taste - a bit more lemon this time, but still plenty of the sweeter honey/caramel notes. Palate - light bodied, slightly sweet and cloying in the middle. A bit of bitterness on the finish though. Overall - it's a little sweet. However, there's just enough of a hint of lemony hops to keep you interested.
