(Bottle, Oliver Twist, Stockholm, 24 Oct) Dark mahogany colour with ruby hints and exploding, creamy, beige head. Fruity, roasted nose with mild notes of cherries, dark fruit, chocolate and liquorice. Fruity, malty and nutty taste with dark fruit, raisins, chocolate, liquorice and hints of yeast. Moderate bitterness in the finish. Enjoyable but lacking something extra.

Cask at GBBF 2006. I normally really like Cotleigh beers, but I thought that this was slightly average. Copper colour with thin beige head. Reasonably good hop aroma. Juicy malts in mouth. Not the best Cotleigh, but fruit and hop are ok. 3.1.5.0 Re-rate Cask handpull at County Hotel, JDW, Ashford. Like all Cotleigh beers, has good flavours, good ingredients, excellent mouthfeel. Great easy drinking bitter with a significant bitter finish. Wide mouthfeel, minerality but just a great bitter

Cask at County Hotel, Ashford. Golden beer. I like Cotleigh beers and this did not let me down. Good balance of fruit and hops and left me wanting another pint, but I had to get home.

Cask (handpump) at The White Horse Inn, Bradford-on-Tone TA4. Lovely fruit hit almost instantly supported by a big bold but not over-powering bitterness. A nicely balanced session bitter with good flavour.

Cask gravity at Kent BF 2006. So my first beer on the first evening of the 3 sessions for me at this beer festival. Copper colour with thin off white head. Sticky spicey hop and caramel aroma. Good in mouth. Hop on end is quite spicey. Good toffee. Certainly has lots of taste.

Cask handpull at Wetherspoons, Folkestone. Mahogany colour with bubbly beige head. Attractive rich malt and hop aroma. More rich dry malt in mouth. Plenty of fruit as well as some coffee. Dry long finish of dry dry malt. Very tasty and I could have easily drank a couple more pints.

Cask at Oliver Twist, Stockholm. Clear nut brown. Roasty malt dominates this beer from nose to finish. Medium bodied with rounded mouthfeel. It’s very nutty with vague notes of grass and licorice. Bitter, lightly salty finish. A very likeable brown ale.

(Cask at Akkurat, Stockholm) Colour is dark ruby to mid brown. Complex nose dominated by malt and with hints of sweet liquorice, aniseed, fennel, tobacco, nuts and even leather. Malty taste with liquorice, tobacco, nuts and and a somewhat drier bitter finish. Complex, tasty and nice.

(Cask at Akkurat, Stockholm) Colour is pale amber to orange. Somewhat fruity nose with a lightly citrussy, hoppy aroma. The citrus is evident in the taste as well, light body with a drier hoppy, but very short, finish. Refreshing but rather thin, saved by the hops.

Cask at Oliver Twist, Stockholm (labelled Tawny Owl). Clear amber. Dusty vegetable aroma. Sweet and fruity with some not so pleasant flavour reminiscent of a used vacuum cleaner bag. Light to medium bodied with soft mouthfeel, some caramelly malt flavour and notes of sulphur.
