I continue to search, but by far the best scotch ale I have ever had. None other compares with the beautiful after taste that McEwans has. Very memorable.

Very malty with chocolate and caramel. 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!

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.
