Oct 10, 2009 Bottle at Highland House.
Copper with an off-white head, moderate lacings. Aroma moderate to heavy malty (caramel, roasted, nutty), moderate hoppy. The strength is felt.

Sep 27, 2009 27.09.2009, 0,5l Bottle. Colour is brown with a thick off-white head. Aroma is rich sweet caramel malt. The syrupy maltiness is well balanced with the alcohol. The beer ia also bitter, but the aftertaste is surprisingly soft and short

Sep 1, 2009 Can’t say I like the aroma, it smells like sausage or something, sort of like walking into a butcher’s shop. Looks great though, nice creamy head, and a dark red-amber colour. Taste is strong and very syrupy, lots of malts here, not much else. Doesn’t have a very big alcohol taste though, to its credit. Overall not great, but a very drinkable strong ale.

Aug 22, 2009 Warm molasses aroma. Mahogany with medium off-white head. Flavour is molasses, raisins and gingerbread. Medium bodied. Finishes raisins with an alcohol tang. Okay, but I would have expected better.

Apr 14, 2009 (Bottle from Co-op) Dark brown with a big good looking frothy white head. Had a malty sweet smell with some roastiness. Big roasted coffee taste with some sweet treacles and alcohol to balance it out. Some toffee too and a drying bitter finish. Very satisfying.

Apr 3, 2009 A ghetto beer. I’ll forever associate McEwans beers with homeless people. In my early youth in Fulham (west London) it seemed every park bench juice-head wineo would drink a McEwan product of some description.I have a social concience and when I give spare change to beggers I secretly hope they’ll buy some of this. This looks kick ass.Ruby and creamy beige....A fat malty beer. With dark fruit like raisin and a little plastic and syrup. i’LL buy more bottles next time i’m on Skid Row.

Feb 15, 2009 I didn’t like this much - too sickly sweet for me, also very flat. Not great, but what would you expect from the sweaties?

Dec 14, 2008 500ml bottle bought at a Wine Rack store in St Andres. Dark brown body colour. Low, off-white head leaving frail laceworks on the glass. Slightly sweet aroma of burnt malt. Dark malts in the forefront of the flavour followed by roasted grain. Warming alcohol beneath. Soft in the mouth, but still almost full bodied [01.11.2008].
