All our ale is brewed using barley from the Icknield series. It’s then floor dried the traditional way in Warminster at Britain’s oldest working maltings. A deep, complex and exceptionally moreish ale, Malt Icknield is a celebration of provenance and tradition. It’s made with all British hops.

From a 500ml bottle.
L: Very dark brown with ruby edges. Thin, off-white head reduces to nothing quite quickly.
S: Smoke & treacle.
T: Smoke, raisins, treacle, coffee, toasted biscuit. Semi-sweet.
F: Thin body with a little carbonation. Short, dry finish.
O: This is a rich, dark ale with strong, roasted malt characteristics and moderate bitterness. A pleasant sipper. Tastes stronger than its 4.5% ABV.
