3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Rather raison and figgy malt flavor with a coffee base and some woody flavors in the finish. Not a bad scotch ale and the alcohol is detectable as it should be.

UPDATED: SEP 29, 2009 Resinous, waxy, leathery snout evocative of Schlenkerla Rauchbier Marzen, minus the charred beechwood of course. What the hell is that?? Deep ruby pour, beautifully conditioned off-white head and lace. Silky, bittersweet and ever-so-slightly roasty. Running the Goose Island IPA a close second as Beer Of The Evening. (747416)
RERATE. Damp sock filled with Allsorts and Muscavado for a snout, lightly smoked. With prunes squeezed on it. Jellied orange detectable like SN Winter Hop. Clear ruby and beige lacing all the way. Fennel seed enrobed in molasses, Bertie Basset, big bite of cake. Well short of sickliness. Bittering hop and liquorice making the whole thing rather dangerous. Doppelbock nips, gnaw of card. Sinks nicely by the half litre. A Yorkshire classic.

Taste is sweet, very hoppy. Some carbonation, spice, aclohol and hoppy finish. Quite tasty although the alcohol content begins to wear thin once the beer has warmed up some.

Das Champion gibt sich sehr dunkel mit sähmigen Schaum und feinen co2 Schnüren.
Der Geruch ist malzig, rosinenartig und alkoholdurchdrungen.
Beim Geschmack geht es voll zur Sache: Das Mc Ewans liegt malzig schwer, beinahe zäh im Mund. Der Oberton liegt bei einer intensiven Süße, die nach Feigen schmeckt.
Der Abgang steht noch ganz im Zeichen des Malzes und natürlich der 7,3% Alkohol, die hier zum Rundum-Schlag ausholen.
Mc Ewnas Champion ist ein schottisches Schwergewicht. Freunde reichhaltiger und malzlastiger Biere liegen hier genau richtig, zumal hier noch ungewöhnliche Geschmacksnuancen geboten werden.Test vom 29.11.2006, Gebinde: Glasflasche
