Adnams Broadside Strong Original

Brewed by Adnams
Style: English Strong Ale
Southwold, England

Rich aroma with malty base and sweet fruity overtones. Nice amber color, generous carbonation. You might like it on some days, but it can be too heavy on others. (the problem is the slight stickiness which surrounds everything like a puffed chewing gum)

Appearance: Brown-red, good amount of head. Aroma: Fruity. Taste: Smooth and fruity. Info: 500ml bottle, 31/8-2005, 7/300, 4/500

This is a classic . Hard to find now but one of the last in my stock. I only wish I could get this in cask. Hope it becomes available again. Dary ruby beer pours into a rocky head which subsides nicely. Inproves down to the bottom. Does not disappoint

The color is a cloudy brown with a redish tint and a thin head that fades rather quick. The nose is nice and malty with a nut finish, you can also detect some hop bitterness. The flavor is nice and sweet and has a minor tartness. You can taste some dark fruits but they are not overpowering. The finish is nice and bitter and that tartness stays with you for quite sometime. overall it is a nice and refreshing strong ale.

This is a decent alebit lighter take on the style than I normally go for, but it is definitely sessionable at best. has some sweet fruitiness throughout with some rich caramel malt, with a hint of herbal hoppiness coming through in the finish.

Pours a cloudy amber colour with a creamy biege head that retains very well and leaves good lacing. A pleasing aroma of sweet malts, noble hops and an impression of beat sugars and fig. The flavour is rich in sweet malts, dark cherries, fennel and bitter hops with a coffee-like aftertaste. The body is full and the texture is creamy. The bitterness in the aftertaste is a bit astringent, but not so much so that it ruins the beer. I leaves a nice warming down in the cocckles.

Hazy brown with tiny off white head. Sweet fruity with roasted malt, caramel and liquerice. Mild hoppy finish.

Beautiful mahogany colour with a tight, thin white head. Aromas of dry german hops, yeast. Flavours of dark malt, a bit roasty and cherries with a dry spicy quality after the sweetness. This beer to me really tastes brings belgian, german and english influence togather. It’s nice.
