Adnams Broadside Christmas Pudding, 900gm

The nuts and fruit are packed in so generously that every spoonful feels like a proper treat, and that warm, bold beer note really comes through without being too heavy. I've already ordered a second one for Boxing Day, it's that good.

You can really taste the Broadside beer in every bite—it gives the whole pudding a warm, spicy depth that’s unlike any other I’ve tried. Steamed it for the full time and it came out moist and rich, loaded with fruit and nuts.

The thing about this pudding is you can actually taste the beer in every bite—it's bold and warm, just like the description says. Cut into it after steaming and the fruit and nuts are packed in there generously. A proper grown-up Christmas pud that doesn't need drowning in brandy butter.
