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.

Аромат даже немного сложноват для простоты этого пива. немного карамельки, в целом много солода вообще, нотки от темных фруктов, немного хмеля континентального, в целом легкая сладость конфетная, но легкая. Цвет темный, но на просвет, пенка средняя. Вкус приятный и питкий, снова фрукты темные и немного карамели. При глотке сухоссти немного, но почти нету горчинки. Снова много солода. В целом очень неожиданно приятный экземпляр.

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. Clear brown color with tan head. Aroma is bready, caramel, chocolate, toffee. Taste is the same, sweetish, with some classic earthy bitterness. Oily mouthfeel, medium carbonation. Alright.

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.
