| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Mar 23, 2002 Deep bitter black coffee flavour. As its name suggests, a Champion Ale. MightyMouth (5), England does not count | 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Jan 18, 2008 Fantastic rich dark brown colour with a thick long lasting head with good lacing. Great malty chocolate aroma. Tastes is sweet and biscuity which is nicely balanced by a slightly bitter finish. This may be too much beer for some but I love it. This is one of my new favourites. scotty (834), Scotland
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Feb 8, 2005 Stunning dark colour with a long lasting off-white head, but looks aren’t everything! Surprisingly light on the nose, malty & fruity, quite complex. Very smooth with a big full bodied palate, quite noticably sweet, but it’s a satisfying malty sweetness. Finish is remarkable, long and lingering. Rather liked this, cant say I particularly like other Mcewans ales in bottles, so this was a pleasant surprise.

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Feb 8, 2003 Bottled; mild malty nose, pours with a large frothy head leaving moderate lacing, dark brown hue, strong malts, alcohol and fruits are present, full bodied with a touch of bitterness in the aftertaste. Pretty good stuff. neilrichards (191), Leicestershire, England
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Apr 11, 2002 Dark, red-brown colour, reminicent of a brown ale. A nice smell, without being over pungent. Heaps of flavour, with a lovely, smooth finish. High strength combined with superb deep, malty flavour, make for a lovely drink. alimcb (23), England
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Jul 11, 2003 It's a Scottish ale, with a high alcoholic content! Dark, sweet, sophisticated ale that makes you wonder how the same brewery can produce McEwans Lager! Very easy to drink, which, thanks to the 7.3%ABV, always leads to an early, fuzzy night. One of few British beers that have really caught my attention. rodolito (162), San Diego, California, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Mar 18, 2003 Clear amber with a decent head. What did it for me was the nice malt flavor. Some fruitiness, sweetness, and mild bitterness.
