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 @ home. Nice black colour, creamy head. Sweet nose, roasted malts. Taste is initially of roasted malts, coffee and some bitterness, but gets really sweet in the end. The sweetness stays. Soft and full mouthfeel, but this is too sweet for my liking.

can at the Avon Combined Services Club, Clifton Bristol. Black with a slight, but tight tan head. Very easy drinking with sweet aromas of chocolate, milk and dark fruit. The flavour was much of the same with plenty of sweetness and some coffee roastiness. Not bad for such a weak ABV.

33cl can from Sainsbury’s on offer. Black with tan head. Heavily roasted malt aroma, but I detect some burnt cane sugar. Cigarette smoke on the aroma too. Hey, it’s a 3% stout. I think it’s fairly dirnkable. Not too sweet, some residual sugar in mouth. Fine

(Can 33 cl) Pours completely opaque black with a rough, beige head. Light aroma of butter with hard roasted malts. Light in body, a little low in carbonation with hard roasted malt accents - and again a little butter. Subdued bitterness. 140308

Big dark brown lasting head. Nearly opaque black body goes dark brown at edges. Milky burnt caramel aroma with chocolatey notes. Mild sweetish burnt caramel and chocolate taste with milky notes. Dryish background. Soft, mellow mouthfeel. Nice, drinkable. (0.33l can from Sainsbury’s.)
