Our original ruby brown premium beer, Brodie’s Prime, brewed to export strength and bottle conditioned to create a rich, complex, strong dark ale.
English Maris Otter malted barley, dark malts and a medley of English and American hops produce aromas of dark chocolate, treacle sweet flavours, roasted bitterness, a surprising fruitiness and a long dry finish.

Sample courtesy of Grumbo, cheers Graham! Pours black in colour with a bubbly beige foam head and aroma of dark malt, chocolate, woody oak. Taste is sweetish, roasted malty, brown sugar, dark fruity, chocolate & coffee, with wood barrel, oaky, and spicy earthy bitterness. Oily mouthfeel, medium to full bodied, soft carbonation, dry roasted bitter finish. Nicely drinkable.

12/2/2019. Bottle from the Bottle Room, Southport. Pours very dark brown with a small bubbly off-white head. Aroma of chocolate, liquorice, malt, dark fruit and coffee. Medium sweetness, moderate roasted bitterness. Full body, oily/slick texture, above average carbonation. Oily, bitter dark chocolate finish. Very good, just a little too much fizz.
