Description
Based on a busy working farm in the picturesque village of Bradfield in the Peak District, Bradfield Brewery have gone from milking 100 cows a day to brewing over 100,000 pints of beer a week! The brewery sprung to life with completion of its first Brew on 26th April 2005 and the brews have carried on flowing ever since.

Trivia: As the family had enjoyed 2 generations of farming at Watt House Farm and not wanting the cows to feel left out, some of the beers are named after breeds of cattle.

Dark blond colour. Sweet aroma of syrupy stewed fruit. Quite a sweet, fruity flavour. In general a bit too sweet and sugary, syrupy.

A stout which is mild in character with a nutty aroma, but is lacking in its aftertaste.

500ml bottle - what you’d expect from a stout in looks, black body, white to beige head. Smoky chocolate nose, a few fruits and coffee in there. A bitter malt taste, a bit thin in the palate, and not much after. The cask version I tasted a few weeks ago was so much better.

A special for the 2012 music festival somehow turned up at Dronfield. A classic golden ale with a clear body and clean taste, ideal for an evening like tonight with 30°c temperatures. Superb.

Guest at my local - slow to settle, eventually levelling to a clear golden body with a thick white head that laced throughout. Slight citrus nose with the expected hoppy notes, which follow through to the taste. Good mouthfeel, tidy little pint this one.
