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.

Bottle. Nose is red currants, bready, dark fruits, toffee. Taste is tofee, fruity, raisins, brown sugar, bread, lightly bitter, a little woody, hazelnut, light herbal hop note lifts and brightens the finish. For a supermarket bottled beer, this is so much better than I was expecting: its fantastic for the price point. Really enjoyed it.

Bottle picked up at the Adnams shop, Holkham, Norfolk. Never realised the difference in ABV before. Clear dark cola brown. Slim dense beige foam. Nose has fruit cake mix. Earthy hop leaf. Bit of privet. Some dark chocolate and toffee. Taste has an initial cake mix sweetness before getting pretty bitter along the lines of hop leaf and light roast malt. Easy drinking for the ABV. Tasty gear. Wish I’d popped a few in me basket, now.
