LovibondPours23	3 Wickwar Platform 6.1 Fair enough Strong IPA. Flat but decent taste - I came across it by accident. The brewery is no more and reported on here to be taken on by Butcombe. Not worth seeking out. Found in B&M store for £1.79. Monday, December 13, 2021

dragnet101	3.4 Wickwar Just The Ticket Yikes out of business now, this will likely be my last Wickwar beer then. 500ml bottle from B&M, called a Artisanal Russet Ale, whatever that is. Look - dark clear brown/mahogany colour, small off-white head, modest retention. Ok. Nose - caramel malts, stone fruits, all a bit subtle. Taste - caramel malts, light toast, hint of citrus running through, Long bitter finish with a stone fruity hop evident. Quite nice. Palate - medium body, light oily, average carbonation. Not a bad strong bitter. Monday, February 15, 2021

Martinsh	3.7 Wickwar Station Porter Bottle from local B & M shop. Aroma is not pronounced, but what there is is fruity with malts. Pours a very dark reddish brown, with a substantial but transient off-white head. Quite well carbonated. Mouthfeel has dark fruits and liquorice to the fore, plus toffee, parkin and milky chocolate. Sweet fruity bitterness in the finish. A pretty d*mn fine porter. Friday, November 27, 2020
BlackHaddock	3.2 Wickwar Christmas Cracker 500ml bottle, 4.1% ABV and brewed at Butcombe Brewery according to the rear label; BB 30th Oct 2021. Drank at home on 26th Nov 2020, the first of three Christmas Beers on the day. Lovely clean body, ruby hue to it, weak white top. Not very 'Christmassy', it's a semi-sweet malty brew which I quite enjoyed, they just forgot to add the spices. Friday, November 27, 2020
dragnet101	3.7 Wickwar Station Porter 500ml bottle. Pours near black/dark ruby, small beige head, no retention. Aroma is a little weak but getting roastiness, malts, earthy hops, a hint of chocolate. The flavour is where this beer comes alive. You have roasted malts, dark fruits, coffee, sweet toffee, earthy hops. A moderate body and soft carbonation compliment the flavours very well. After being unimpressed with two previous beers from Wickwar, and then the look and aroma of this one not being great, I feared the worse, but this surprised me. Its all about the taste and body with this one. Sunday, November 22, 2020
jamesie1857	3.5 Wickwar Platform 6.1 500ml bottle from B&M shop emporium - Hazy yellow body, blotchy top. Nose is malts, caramel, bit of citrus. Taste is syrupy sweet orange, bitter citrus. Tidy enough, bit of a one and move on though. Friday, November 13, 2020
jamesie1857	3.4 Wickwar Station Porter 500ml bottle from one of the B&M shop company shops - Opaque black body, tan top. Roasty nose, coffee grinds, rich black chocolate, very malty. Taste has the black coffee kick, but the roastiness is a bit more relaxed. Tried it chilled as Wickwar suggest, not bad. Friday, November 13, 2020
krustovsky	3.8 Wickwar Station Porter Monday, November 9, 2020
dragnet101	3 Wickwar Christmas Cracker 500ml bottle. Pours ruby colour, small white head, decent circular retention. Aroma of roasted malts, chocolate, floral hops. Taste is sweet, malty, chocolate, nuts and a light bitterness in the finish. Moderate body. Pretty straightforward malty beer, not much hops and not any spice to make it Christmassy. Its fine though. Saturday, October 24, 2020
FACambridge	2.2 Wickwar Cotswold Way (from old notes-Bottle from Waitrose, Stroud, Gloucestershire Aug'19) - Aroma : Light sweet toffee/biscuity maltiness, merest hint of red fruit hop. Taste : Body is on the thin side of medium. Flavour is over-ridingly a very gently sweet malty toffee. Not horrible, but one-dimensional & uninteresting Friday, October 16, 2020
deanso	2.8 Wickwar Christmas Cracker 50cl bottle from B&M. Very thin white head. Clear amber pour. light bitterness. Average Thursday, October 15, 2020
dragnet101	2.5 Wickwar Platform 6.1 500ml bottle. Pours golden yellow, thin white head, little retention. Aroma of sweet malts, a bit of caramel, some orange but its lacking. Taste is orange, grapefruit, quite thin, moderate bitterness in the finish. Light body for an IPA and low carbonation which is a poor combination. This is a very poor IPA/pale and as far as beers go generally I know 1 or 2 macro lagers that are better than this. Not recommended. Monday, October 12, 2020
GuideDogSaint	2.6 Wickwar Platform 6.1 500ml bottle from B&M, Tolworth. Pours clear golden yellow with a white head. Aroma of malt and fruity hops. Sweet malty taste. Bitter finish with an unpleasant aftertaste. Thursday, August 6, 2020

ThirstyGlobetrotter	3.1 Wickwar Platform 6.1 Came across this is b and m... 6.1 so a decent % tastes like a 5% so is quite easy drinking, and actually looks like a lager. May purchase again Saturday, May 16, 2020
Martinsh	3.4 Wickwar Platform 6.1 Bottle from , err … B & M I think Well this came in a black bottle, and had a black label, so I sort of assumed it was a stout when I grabbed it out my cellar – but no, it’s an IPA. Aroma isn’t strong but is pleasantly complex, oranges, lemons, pine needles. Pours a pale straw with a transient white head. In the mouth the orange fruits hit the taste buds first, closely followed by bitter hops – which obliterate everything else. Some fruits return in the bitter finish though. I rather like this – but it’s too pale to really be a traditional IPA. Sunday, May 10, 2020
