None other compares with the beautiful after taste that McEwans has. Very memorable. lmahony199 (52), Alexandria, Virginia, USA

This was my first exposure to the style and I have not found a better one since. Definitely one of my favorite beers and not bad with the occasional splash of blended scotch! jimhilt (1679), Bow, New Hampshire, USA
| 5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 10/10 | 5/5 | 10/10 | 5/5 | 20/20 | Apr 12, 2007 Pours a five finger light tan head that fades slowly leaving a good lace. Deep mahogany color. Light-medium carbonation and medium bodied. Malty nose. Flavor is smooth, not too sweet, hops mellow, higher ABV is hidden. Really the standard for scotch ales. $1.99 for a 12oz bottle from Tull’s Beer & Wine Wells, ME. roboho (1), USA does not count | 5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 10/10 | 5/5 | 10/10 | 5/5 | 20/20 | Aug 13, 2005 I love this beer. Sweet, thick and 8% by volume. Two of these and I have a nice buzz. The down side is that the taste (to me) is so appealing that I tend to want to keep drinking more which is not always in my own best interest. :) Crash27 (1), USA does not count | 5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 10/10 | 5/5 | 10/10 | 5/5 | 20/20 | Jun 6, 2007 i love this beer it is incredible i have always been a fan of guiness and alot of irish lagers or stouts and this is by far the best i’ve had Sunset2b (2), Chesterfield, Virginia, USA does not count | 5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 10/10 | 5/5 | 10/10 | 5/5 | 20/20 | Feb 24, 2008 My absolute favorite beer. Although they closed the brewery in 2005, the Newcastle folks have maintained the flavor.
