Strong in multi-malt flavours, and very well balanced to produce rich fruit flavours of cherry and plum. IKB (Isambard Kindom Brunel) is the latest member of the Wickwar family. Introduced to the portfolio to help celebrate the opening of our new home at the Old Brewery.

Cask in the market porter. Alround rating: Bittersweet toffee and caramel, with grassy floral hop some pepperyness in the finish. But i dont like bittersweet character in beers makes them cloying.

Cask conditioned Handpump Market Porter Borough Market. A dark amber coloured beer with a whitish head. The aroma has a bit of fruit and also some toffee. Nicely chewy and fruity in the mouth with a good body. Unmistakably an old ale even if it’s lighter in colour than average. Pretty good

Cask-conditioned at the White Lion, Bristol. This beer struck me as similar, but inferior to, Uley Old Spot. Dark ruby brown with a slight head. Aroma was of dark fruit and malt. Flavour was of raisins, toffee and a touch of marzipan. Drinkable stuff.

Cask (handpump) at The Colonies, Westminster, May 2006. I’m afriad any Old Ale characteristics of this beer passed me by. Seemed like a fruity, malty best bitter to me. Smooth and easy drinking. I would have preferred a bit more bitterness and hop bite.
