Broadside was launched as a 6.3% bottled beer in 1972 to commemorate the 300th anniversary of the battle of Sole Bay fought against the Dutch Republic in 1672 off the Southwold coast, just across the green from the brewery.

Ingredients: Pale, Black, and Chocolate malts; First Gold hops

Broadside is a dark ruby red beer rich in fruitcake aromas, almonds and conserved fruit. The fullness of the beer makes it a good accompaniment for hearty food.

New Beer Distributors, NY 50cl ($4.50): Pours a light brownish color with a cream head. Aroma is toffee, fruits, and a bit of hops. Taste is slightly sweet (glad to see this not being too sweet). Nice amount of bitterness. Fruity flavors round this out pretty well. This is pretty good.

Fra flaske på Cardinaltreff jan-13: denne har jeg ikke smakt siden jeg hadde den fra fat i London for 2 år siden. Stadig en like flott personlighet med mørk gylden farge, nydelig aroma av rips og karamell og en deilig, fruktig munnfylde (med litt karamell til å balansere det hele).

Bottle given to me at Christmas. A deep amber/brown coloured pour with a smallish off white head. Caramel, dark fruit aroma. Tastes similar, caramel, dark fruit, malty, slightly sweet. I’ve had this on cask many times and prefer that to the bottled version.

Bottle at a conference at Earl’s Court. It pours ruby-brown with a medium beige head. The nose is caramel, wood, earth, nut and sweet dark fruit. The taste is caramel, wood, earth, raisin, light toast, dark fruit and some decent bitterness with a dry finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. This is definitely one of Adnams best. Robust, good flavour and well balanced. Good job!

Mörkbrun vätska med beigefärgad skumkrona. Aromer av mörkt rågbröd, fudgekola och lite karamell. Maltig med toner av mörk sirap och med en lätt blommig örtig beska. Värmande med medlelång eftersmak.

Bardzo dobry w smaku, treściwy napój. Kolor rubinowo brązowy, machoniowy. Piana mocna choć powoli powstaje podczas nalewania. Zapach złożony. Słodycz miesza się z mocą alkoholową.

50 cl bottle @ Salhojankadun Pub. Rated on 06.11.2010
Aroma has some sweetish toffee, ripe fruits and hints of caramel. Flavour has English toffee, some ripe fruits, hints of spices and caramel. Quite typical English Strong Ale.
