Adnams Broadside (Cask)
Adnams Broadside commemorates the fierce battle of Sole Bay fought against the Dutch Republic in 1672 off the Southwold coast, just across the green from our brewery. The fullness of the beer makes it a good accompaniment for stews and steak or kidney and ale pies. All sausage dishes complement Broadside well. A mature cheese ploughmans or cheeseboard of hard English cheeses are a perfect match for bottled Broadside. (Contains barley).

If you like a more normal traditional malty bitter taste then this is for you. No citrus, no overwhelming hoppiness, not for golden ale drinkers but for those with a deeper discerning palate - EXCELLENT!
brown with bubbly head. smell sweet and roasted malt, some smoky notes. taste is malty with strong dark malt character and hint of fruitiness. nice
Cask @Greenwich Tavern. Bursztynowe, klarowne. Aromat ciesteczkowy, bardzo delikatne estry. Skojarzenie z diacetylem. W smaku średnio słodko, z wyważoną goryczką. Przyjemne.
Been a while since I had the pleasure. All the beauty of a Broadside but with that chewy cask thickness. Not as strong tasting as the bottled variety, but possibly this is down to the smoothness. Really great stuff. What can I say? You should try this if you see it. Biscuity but with a stunning alcoholic bite.
On handpull at the Crown in Fordingbridge. Pours brown. Biscuit, caramel, dried fruit, usual esters. Medium body. Fine.
Great condition yet again
First time I’ve had this in cask - maybe. Very malty, fudge and butterscotch. Bitter, slightly yeasty finish.
Brutal en cask, nada que ver con beberla en botella.Aroma is nutty, toffee, hints of roast and toast. Flavor has a roasty note with loads of toasted nutty malts, hints of Noble hop.

On tap at the Wharf. More or less clear in the glass, dark chestnut colored, with some bubbles on top. Nutty, dried fruits aroma with some toffee and oatmeal biscuits. There’s some sweetness on the palate, but it’s mostly on the dry side, with a nice carbonation level. Medium body fullness. Toffee, bread, dried fruits and some nuts in the flavor, with a faint piney touch. Long finish with a good bitterness. Too malty on the nose this one, but sure decent anyway. 160622

Cask in a pub somewhere in Suffolk. A deep chestnut ale with a foamy biege head. The taste is malty with toffee and a hint of liquorice with a touch of citrus too. Pleasantly bitter finish. Quite decent for what it is.
Cask at The Railway Putney. Dark orange or brown, still, small foamy tan head, thick lacing. Aroma is papery, card, prune, musty. Body is medium, smooth, low carbonation. Taste is rummy, buttered rye bread, twig, toffee, resin, drying astringent hops, spiced finish, palma violet linger. Pretty astringent and dry, which is fine by me.
Deep brownish red with a thick off white head. Good mix of malt and lightly hopped. Light feel and refreshing
