Commercial Description:
An Ølfabrikken guest brew. For the second time we have invited one of our colleagues to come by and do any brew he or she would like.
ØLFABRIKKEN MCWILDER is a Scottish ale brewed with no less than three types of roasted malts. The result is a complex ale with a pleasant malt sweetness and notes of smoke and chocolate. McWilder is brewed by Nick Wilder who has been trained in the art of brewing in both USA and Germany.
McWilder is, of course, unpasteurized, unfiltered and bottle conditioned like all of our beers.

Bottle, at ZBF 2006, courtesy of the Danes. Hazy bronze, good pale yellow head and moderate condition. Chocolate powder, roasted barley and figs in the nose, big roasted dry mouthfull with hints of chocolate and delicate earthiness balanced with a gentle fruity tartness, lingering chocolate and roast barley in the finish.

Thanks Doggythedog for sharing this with me.
swing top bottle (500ml). –Cola coloured, small almost no head. Roasted malt aroma with slight coffee notes, very sour. Unpleasant vinegar finish.

Bottle (8/12) courtesy of Papsoe (thanks!), shared with ozujsko
The age and travel must’ve ruined this one the most. Opaque brown body, no head. The nose is roasty with some malt. The taste... some malt, roastiness again, a bit sour and watery. Blah. Disappointing, and, as someone said before, not really like a Scottish Ale.

Bottled. Copper-colored, clear ale with a beige head. Roasted malt, coffee, vanilla and some wood in the aroma. Roasted malt and coffe in the flavor, as well as some sweetness. Full body and a lightly dry and roasted bitterness in the finish. (060530)

Bottled. Hazy copper brown colour with small off-white head. Aroma of fruits, raisins and malt. Flavour is raisins, caramel and roasted malt. The roasted malt stays a while in aftertaste. Kind of sweet notes too. Wellbalanced. Coffee stays long in aftertaste. Nice brew. So far Ølfabrikken has impressed me.

[Bottled] (BB 06/2006). Almost opaque muddy brown, small but firm tan head. Roasted malty, tobacco nose. Chocolaty, roasted, not very sweet, lots of tobacco. And certainly not very "Scottish Ale".
