About
Established since 2002, Blindmans Brewery can be found at Talbot Farm in Somerset amongst the cows. The brewery is a five barrel plant in a converted Milking Parlour. The brewery is fairly unique in having its own exclusive water spring which is carefully quality controlled, guaranteeing consistency. All ingredients are procured locally wherever possible, with malt supplied by Warminster Maltings, traditionally germinated on open floors in a process spanning centuries.

Cask at the Union Bar, Imperial College, London. Copper brown in colour with a beige head; malty aroma. Thin in the mouth and prickly on the tongue; moderately bitter then developing a dry finish. Not very exciting - this is intended "to appeal to a wide range of drinkers", and is therefore rather bland.

Cask. Golden colour, mediumsized white head. Aroma is fruity hoppy and slightly yeasty. Flavour is leather, some yeast, earth and fruity hoppyness. Barnyardish aftertaste. Slightly watery too.

Cask conditioned at the Hillgrove Porter Stores, Bristol 27/6/07. Golden coloured with a moderate white head. Aroma of citrus and green fruit. Flavour had more hops and some supporting earthy malt. Very easy drinking with plenty to enjoy.

Dark nutty brown color, good creamy off-white head. Sweetish (toffee, nuts) hoppy aroma with hints of licorice. Smooth creamy mouthfeel - cream stout-like. Light palate, some nutty, woody and nutty hoppy flavors. Promising outlook and aroma, but flavor is quite bland.

(Cask at Wenlock Arms, London, 31 July) Colour is dark brown/mahogany with frothy head. Nose is malty, nutty with notes of chocolate and prunes. Taste is fruity/malty with dried fruit (prunes, raisins) and hints of chocolate. Balanced bitterness in the finish. Nice and drinkable, but hardly exciting.

(Cask at Market Porter, Borough, London, 30 July) Colour is mahogany with a foamy, short head. Nose is malty and nutty, not very complicated. Taste is also malty and nutty with some dry hoppy character in the finish. On the thin side, smooth and ... well .. not very exciting, but definitely drinkable.
