COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Editor’s Note: This is a higher alcohol version of the British Mackeson Stout. Formerly brewed in the United States by Boston Beer Co. at their Cincinnati location (the old Hudepohl brewery). Presently brewed at the Carib Brewery in Trinidad (and St. Kitts). This is the version that is commonly exported to South East Asia Like every other hard-worker that you know, you consider Friday to be the best day of the week because at the end of it is a reward for five days of traffic, deadlines and trying to exceed your bosses’ expectations. Besides looking forward to two days without an alarm, an after-work ‘lime’ is when you permit yourself to indulge in something you’ve had a hankering for all week – It’s dark, on the brink of sweetness and one is definitely not enough. With a designated driver on duty, you place your first order for a Mackeson. It’s the perfect warm-up for everything that the rest of the night has to offer. It never disappoints and ensures that you don’t either. This instantly satisfying, full-bodied milk stout is perfect for a generation that thrives on immediate and long-lasting gratification in their personal, professional and pleasurable pursuits. Its roasted malt aroma is a superb opener for its dark, creamy, semi-sweet goodness that finishes with a hint of a coffee-like flavour.

3.5

3.7
UPDATED: DEC 27, 2020 Black body with thin tan head. Full roast malt aroma. Chocolate milk and malt taste with a roast chocolate finish that lasts.
3.5
UPDATED: SEP 7, 2020 From the 12 fl oz bottle brewed in Florida. Deep dark brown to black pour and tan head. The aroma is roasted dark malts, char, chocolate, coffee, with a floral hint. Smooth light body. The taste is sweet but I also get a kind of vegetable oil character with those dark malts.
3.3
UPDATED: JUN 24, 2020 Bottled, 355ml a gift from Ian, many thanks. Black with beige head. So a stronger version of the famous original and boy is it sweet, saccharin along with sweet liquorice, coconut milk notes. The roasty malts do come through. There is a salty chemical note in the background. It's fine.

UPDATED: JUN 21, 2020 Bottle - 275ml. Opaque black body with an average beige foamy head. Decent malty aroma with roasty and chocolate hints. Its good malty taste carries chocolate and plummy notes. Ends with a decent, sweet/roasty finish. Not bad.
3.3
UPDATED: MAY 30, 2020 330mL bottle, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma brings out briny notes, some black liquorice, and a little lactose. Flavour is very sweet, with lots of lactose, a little bit of brine, and black liquorice. Sweet, almost cloying. Pleasant stuff.

UPDATED: MAR 18, 2020 330ml bottle at The Bulldog, New Orleans, LA on 24/06/2008. Quite sweet with a medium body. I found that the carbonation was a tad rough as well. Not bad, though. The additional alcohol compared to the one they sold in the U.K. added more depth.
3.8
UPDATED: MAR 8, 2020 Bottle from Tfontana, thanks for the opportunity!
Inky black with a fuzzy mocha head that persists.
Milk Chocolate and earthy roast with hints of earth and fruit.
Really nice Old World Stout.
3.7
UPDATED: DEC 25, 2019 12 oz bottle. Pours dark black brown with a dense tan head. Lacing. Smells of malt and biscuits. Nice toasted malty notes dry mouthfeel with milk sweet balances. Low carbonation. Good stout.
