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 at YNWA, Kolding. Pours an almost clear, copper body with a minimal off-white head. Malt, a touch of butterscotch, bready notes and a rather pleasant fruityness in the aroma. Bready malt aroma, some fruityness, but not much bitterness in the flavor. Full body. Sweet, malty finish with some fruityness. Pleasant, drinkable and boring. (080229)

(Bottle 50 cl) Clear, orangey brown with a dense, off-white head leaving some lacework. Aroma of roasted malts and nuts. Medium body with notes of nuts, a little caramellish malt and some overripe fruit. The finish is dry with some alcohol presence. 190208

500ml bottle (bb.28.03.08) bought at Utobeer on my last trip to London almost a year ago. Served at the right drinking temperature in a Camra-glass. Shining rosewood body topped by a beige, foamy head, slowly fading. Moderate glass-lacing. Smell of blackcurrant supported by a slightly touch of caramel. Fine malty foundation in flavour very well mixed with dark fruits and berries added by a spicy (pepper) hint. Soft bitter backnotes. Moderate mouthfilling (11.01.2008).

Dark brown beer with a frothy head and a rather weak watery and sweet aroma. The flavour is roasted with a thick texture. Overall a good roasted strong flavoured beer.

White rim only, heavy pearling notwithstanding; clear amber beer. Nose with caramel and toffee. Faint aroma hops in the taste, and, again, caramel and roasted sugars. Very light bodied, watery Γ nd sticky finish. Aftertaste gives a bit of oxidation, which is strange for a BBD 4/04. Light and sweet. Another example of the weak British yeasts, IMO.
