Mackeson's Brewery of Hythe, Kent first released the beer in 1909. Whitbread acquired the brand in 1929. By the 1950s it accounted for half of Whitbread's production and was brewed in several of their breweries. In 1993 Whitbread moved production to their Castle Eden and Samlesbury plants. From May 1999, production was contracted out to Young's Brewery of Wandsworth. In 2001 Whitbread was purchased by Interbrew (now AB InBev) and since then brand has been shunted from plant to plant and is currently brewes at their Luton plant. A few years back, the alcohol content was dropped from its original 3% to 2.8%

Can 0,33ltr: Opaque black with an pretty sweet taste but just not annoying, and some milky feel way in the back. I like this low-alcohol Stout.

330ml Can from Asda. Pours black, beige head, which reasonable retention and lacing. Aroma of malts and caramel. Low to moderate carbonation and the body is decent considering the sub-3% ABV. The barley malts come through strong with a caramel note and then the sweetness kicks in. There is then a slight milky smoothness which fights a bit with the carbonation and then a moderate dry bitter finish. This is pretty decent actually, underrated I think.

Adding in my 300 Beers To Try ticks because I want to see how they impact my stats and some of them I will never see again. Will however re-rate them when practical. Morrion's, Woking. Bought the 4-pack and gave the rest away at work. It's fine.

Can. Malty, sugary aroma and flavor. Chichorei, coffee and cola. Some aspartame bitterness.

Can from Sainsburys. Had to buy 4 for 4 quid. #3 from MJ 500 this summer trip. Creamy, chcolate nose, with hints of vanilla, caramel, and the lightest touch of roastiness. There are also notes of plums and raisins. Not a bad nose. Black with a tall, rocky tan head and obvious carbonation. Flavor is quite sweet, with dark chocolate, light vanilla, wood or cardboard, a bit of roasted malts. There is some caramel in there too. It is a bit too sweet, but not in the nasty sense. Also a reasonable body for 2.8%. There is the lightest hop peppery taste in teh finish. Jackson probably included this mostly for historical interest, as it was the first milk stout introduced in 1910. It still carries that interest. It still also tastes pretty decent, however. Certainly not something I would drink regularly, but not at all bad. the little lactic pastiness at the finish is a bit unpleasant, though.

From old tasting notes. Opaque black, brown color. Creamy, dark tan head. Sweet roasted malt aroma is reminiscent of hot cocoa. Sweet roasted malt flavor with cocoa overtones. Mildly assertive roasted maltiness has a hint of sourness. Mild sweet finish.

330ml can from Beers of Europe - Always been intrigued by Mackeson, always came across as an old woman’s drink, so in the interest of science... Thin black with a brown head. Smell is yeasty, taste is quite light and chocolatey. It’s nice enough. Very drinkable. Bit watery mind you...
