4.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
This is probably the best thing I’ve ever tasted. The aroma is heavenly, the taste is quite extraordinary. This is truly the best beer I’ve ever had.

50cl bottle.
Ruby bronze body, thick offwhite head, very persistant.
Oddly smokey aroma, corny cereals, sherry undertones, toffee sweetness, bit of alcohol.
Creamy texture, moderate carbonation, full body.
Rich toffee malts with hints of smokey roastiness and boozy sherry. Bitter drying finish.
Interesting sort of strong ale.

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.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
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

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.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
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.

(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.

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.
