McEwan's Champion Strong Scottish Ale 500ml 7.3%
A full-bodied, smooth and complex strong ale from a Scottish brewing name raising a glass since 1856.
McEwan's Champion is a firm favourite in the McEwan's range. Launched in 1997, this award-winning premium ale has earned its name with a rich, strong flavour and a uniquely sweet, fruity character that finishes smooth. At 7.3% ABV it is a proper strong Scottish ale, made for slow sipping rather than quick pints.
In the glass McEwan's Champion pours a deep, chestnut colour. Aromas of syrup, toffee, caramel and fruitcake lead into a bittersweet palate of rich malt and dried fruit, with a long, warming finish. Brewed from just water, malted barley, hops and yeast, it is a classic choice for anyone who enjoys dark, malty Scotch ales and wee heavy-style beers.
Presented in a 500ml glass bottle, McEwan's Champion is a great-value strong ale to keep in the cupboard for colder evenings, and it makes a thoughtful addition to a beer gift for fans of traditional British ales.
