Adnams Broadside Strong Original

From bottle. Struck by a strong aroma of syrup and malt. Deep reddish brown appearance with a decent enough head. Quite smooth to drink, thick syrup flavour that reminded me of liquorice. Overall a tasty ale with a bitter finish. Felt like a winter ale to me.

Bottle from John’s Market drunk during a round of golf at Skamania Lodge in Stevenson WA. Very dark and malty. Dark flavours went well on a slightly cool afternoon under the sun.

Hazy brown color with a light brown head. Aroma of sweet caramel and molassas and some dark fruit and moss. Strong fruit flavor with some light molassas.

Nice dark cherry colored body, with a small off-white head. Good caramel and malts in the aroma, very smooth. Nice body, sharp malts and hops combine with some dark fruit accents (cherry, currant). Nice dry ending.

Pours a dark brown color with a medium tan head. Aroma is of chocolate, toffee, dark fruits, molasses, and some sweet malts. Flavor is the same stronger on the dried fruit and molasses flavor. Wasn’t sure what I was going to think of this one but was surprised, not a bad brew at all.

Dark amber color good lasting head. Heavy aroma with malt alcohol and red fruit. Powerfull taste with hops and a nutty bitterness.

Bottle at Beer on the Pier, Chicago brought by Shelton Bros. Strong alcohol aroma with molasses. Cloudy dark amber color and slightly off-white head. Stronger and more flavorful than the Adnams Suffolk SSB. Pretty darn good, actually. I could see myself really enjoying a pint of this at an English pub. Good stuff.

brown with an off-white creamy lasting head. plum, raisin, toffee, malt aroma. slow moving lace. very malty and hoppy. lots of fruity esters. the malts are dark and fruity. medium bodied. cherry fruit juice aftertaste.
