A smooth, deep amber coloured ale with a complex malt, fruit and hop flavour. Strong and distinctive like the powerful sleek Scottish Wildcat it is named after.

Bottle online from Beers Of Europe. Pours a clear chestnut colour with a medium sized creamy off-white head. Aromas of toffee, caramel, doughy bread, toasted malts and peppery spice. Taste is more toffee and caramel, fruity jam, doughy bread, toasty malts, more peppery spice and some tea. Malty with a lingering earthy hop bitterness on the finish. Full body, average carbonation and smooth slightly oily mouthfeel. Very good beer. Enjoyed.

Clear brown with thin head. It's a nice full flavoured bitter with a nice balance of malt and subtle hop bitterness. Full and also sessionable.

500ml bottle – Pours a clear coppery brown colour with a small foamy beige head. The aroma is fruity and malty, sweet malts, dried fruit, nutty and light sweet chocolate notes. A similar sweetish malty fruity taste, toasted malts, caramel, chocolate and dried fruit flavours with a hoppy dry bitter finish.
