Rich in fruitcake aromas, almonds and conserved fruit. Adnams Broadside is a pint to savour. The deep copper colour, the fuller flavour and the premium ABV rewards the drinker in every mouthful.

Mahony brown colour, off-white head. Not much of an aroma, some maltiness noticable. Flavour: faint and dry malts. A dry and bitter finish.

Small offwhite coarseish head. Deep red-brown body. Delicately balanced and harmonic fruity floral earthy aroma with wooden herbal notes. Dry-sweetish floral black berry and wood taste, again in excellent harmony and balance, with caramelly earthy port notes. Soft, smooth mouthfeel. Light body. Dry wooden blackberry aftertaste with dusty resiny notes. Nuts and roasted almonds, too. Gorgeous. (0.25l cask, The Warrington Hotel, Maida Vale, London.)

Cask (The Castle,Basingstoke) - Copper coloured with a bit of a haze. Very fruity and rich aroma with some fruit cake hints. Fruity and slightly musty taste with raisins and some spicy malt notes.

[at the Ferry Inn, Southwold, Suffolk] Initially rich, malty, smooth - went down very easily. Aftertaste a little weak and watery, bitter but well balanced. Very pleasant. The draught version is weaker-tasting than the bottled version, and different flavours are apparent (notably malt rather than fruit). Both are good drinks, and I couldn’t actually recommend one over the other (I’d choose the draught year-roundwhen I was having a laugh with my mates, and the bottle in front of a fire on a cold winter’s day!), but I don’t know how Adnams can call them the same beer!

Cask@Holly Bush, Hampstead. Dark amber colour, not much head. Aroma is yeasty, wooden and quite grassyish hops. Flavour is very much the same, a slight disappointment.

Cask conditioned at the Ratepayers’ Arms, Filton 4/5/2007. Brown coloured with reddish tones. Aromas of dark fruits and demerara sugar. Flavours were reminiscent of rich fruit cake with a decent, dry finish. Overall, an enjoyable pint.

(Cask at White Horse, Parson’s Green, London 27 Apr 2007) Dark brown, almost mahogany, colour with brief off-white head. Malty nose with dark fruit, orange peel, hints of chocolate and notes of earthy hops. Fruity taste with a solid malt foundation, dark fruit, red berries (raspberries, cherries), hints of chocolate and a generous puff of earthy hops in the finish. A reliable pint indeed.

Cask at Ye Old Mitre. Malty aroma. Dark amber color with a passing beige head. Starts slightly fruity, followed by malt, a hint of belgian candy. There is hop in the finish, but the malt tends to keep pace. Satisfying.
