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.

Bottled (from bierzwerg.de). Copper coloured with small white to slightly off-white head. Aroma is bready malts along with some fruits, wood and quite wooden and grassy as well. Flavour is pretty much the same in a quite nice, not too harsh, bittery way. Nice session beer.

Bottle: Ruby-amber coloured, stable medium-sized off-white head; sweetish malty and toasty nose with a tinge of liquorice and some hoppy traces; moderate sweet-bitter flavour, soft and medium-bodied; traces of cacao in the moderate to solid bitter-sweet finish, lingering hops in the aftertaste. A good ESB in the scottish way......
