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.

(Cask at Euston Tap West, London, 15 Nov 2023) Dark brown colour, almost black, with frothy beige head. Malty, roasted nose with chocolate, toasted grain and coffee. Malty, roasted taste with notes of coffee, chocolate, roasted malt, raisins and a balanced roasty bitterness. Medium body, with a touch of sweetness. Tasty and well balanced stout. Nice one.

750 wax topped bottle, picked up at the brewery by my mate, and Bradfield’s biggest fan, Mark. Cheers. Clear rose tinged pale amber. Very decent solid white swede. Nose has juicy puréed fruit. Whiff of port barrel. Not especially picking up any whisky barrel. Light sweetness first off. Touch of leafy bitterness. Smooth and nicely easy drinking. Nice level of bitterness to finish. Enjoyed this, and ordinarily I avoid Bradfield. Good to see them stepping out of a comfort zone.

Cask @ Upper George Hotel, Halifax. Black with a thick light-brown creamy-smooth head. Smooth tasting too, its vanilla addition is strong in both aroma and taste, edging towards but not quite being overbearing.

[Cask at the Hope Tap (JDW), Reading.] A Ribena coloured pour with a creamy pinkish violet head that leaves lots of lacing on the glass; aroma of malt and blackcurrant; smooth and malty in the mouth with some tangy berry fruit; then a dry fruity finish, with a touch of tartness. An excellent fruity winter beer.

A moderately sweet fruity taste, sweet biscuity malts, berry fruit, blueberry, strawberry and cherry flavours with a light drying mouthfeel and biscuity, light bittersweet finish.
