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.

(Cask at White Horse, Parson’s Green, London, 27 Nov 2016) Black colour with frothy, beige head. Malty, roasted, slightly fruity nose with notes of dried fruit, chocolate and caramel. Malty, fruity taste with caramel, dried fruit, dark chocolate, treacle and a balanced bitter-sweet finish. Almost full body, with a slight sweetness. Tasty and quite powerful, still in excellent balance. Very nice.
