AshtonMcCobb (779) - Edinburgh, SCOTLAND - MAR 20, 2011
Looks good - dark, in fact opaque with a good creamy head. Quite a sweet malty nose. The taste is richer and sweeter than expected. The palaet is medium-bodied and reasonably balanced. Overall, this is very good for a mass-produced canned beer.

suprchunk (802) - Heinsberg, GERMANY - FEB 26, 2011
Pours a dark amber (not yellow at all, just like a Scottish Ale should be). Big white head, big lacing. Little phenolic. Not as malty as expected. Phenolic smell translates to phenolic taste. Not very good. A little thin. Lightly carbonated. Little of the phenols are left behind in the aftertaste. Not very good. A little bit of a disappointment after having the other McEwan’s.
