McEwan's No.1 Champion from Scottish Courage Ltd.
Rating: B+
Wasn't expecting this to be a scotch ale when I bought it. Not my favorite style, but we'll give it a go.
Appearance: Garnet in color, two finger off-white head with good retention, and lacing.
Smell: warm, hints of vanilla, with some hints of roast malt.
Taste: creamy, some toffee, slight molasses but balanced by hops bitterness. Some dark fruit. Very nice, actually. Not too sweet, which is my usual complaint for this style.
Mouthfeel: Medium body, creamy, good carbonation.
Drinkability: A good beer, by any measure.
Serving type: bottle
