McEwans Scotch Ale

Brewed by John Smiths (S&N, Heineken)
Style: Scotch Ale
Tadcaster, England

355 ml bottle. Pours a thick, dark brown with a small tan, long lasting head. Aroma is sweet with toffee and fruits. Flavour is a sweet and a little caramel with notes of alcohol. Feels medium/thick on the tongue and leave a sticky lightly bitter, then sweet aftertaste.

bottle. pours a deep reddish brown...or shall i say mahogany? with a small tan head. aromas of caramel malts, wood and smoke with the presence of alcohol. flavor is much the same with vanilla, dark chocolate and toffee notes. leaves a slightly dry bitter finish with a bit of smoke. creamy and medium bodied. pairs very well with spicy grilled BBQ ribs.

A very rich and dark beer. The aroma and flavor are dominated by caramel and toffee with no detectable bitterness.. This beer is very sweet, it would go very well with a dessert or a sweet barbeque dish or pork chops with a fruit sauce.

very nice--pours a very deep brown/red, with the thinnest tan head. rich sugars and notes of alcohol at the front end; finishes with just a bit of bitter. Nice for sipping at the end of the day...

dark mahogany color with very small tan head. faint aroma of burnt toffee with a sour citrus note to it. medium bodied. chocolate malt taste well supported by dusted earth, resin, and alcohol. it has a spicy bitter finish. overall good and easy drinking

Mcewans scotch ale Pours a mahogony brown color w a dense tan head & whispy lacing 3 Smells very grainy hints of cardboard some really light malt maybe. 5 Pal is avg 3 Flavor was surprising after the smell like a rich sweet brown lots of sweet carmels & hints of hazlenut 7 Very drinkable.

Pours a clear, very dark brown with virtually no head. Nose is like musty strawberries with a syrupy sugar sauce poured all over them. Flavor is sweet with an earthy edge. Almost like port with peat or something off the ground overlapping it. You also get a distinct tangy edge on the top of your mouth. Mouthfeel is extremely thick, bordering on syrupy with a high airy edge to it. Not the most drinkable of brews due to the thick syrup edge, but this is one 6 pack I will let sit in the fridge for a while and go back to now and again for a nice, relaxing drink. I know that my personal preference for very flavorful and sweet beers will effect my ratings, but I really dig this one.

Pours a nice deep brown with ruby reddish hues. The head was fairly thin, creamy, light brown. Pretty carbonated. The nose isn’t as complex as the flavor. Sweet, mild aroma, caramel. Slight smoke peat, earthy, caramel, sweet, slight chocolate, rich flavor. Nice. Warm in the stomach and going down.
