Mackeson’s XXX Clone homebrew recipe

A very dark, sweet, full-bodied, slightly roasty ale. Some say it tastes like sweetened espresso.

This homebrew recipe is a perfect session beer since it is low in alcohol, and unlike other stouts, this homebrew is balanced by a nice sweetness.

This is a great homebrew recipe. I made this two times when Jon had his homebrew store. Anyone looking for a great, homebrew recipe should try this. It is different than all your friends making another IPA!
