Fullers also brewed another, stronger Burton Ale with the rather natty name of OBE – Old Burton Extra.
Without parti-gyling, it’s a beer which couldn’t have existed. Because the quantities in which it was brewed were so tiny, that they would have been totally impractical to brew single-gyle. This particular brew was one of the larger batches of OBE – a whole 26 barrels. Along with 134 barrels of BO and 223 barrels of X Ale. In total, not far short of 400 barrels were in the entire brew.
As it was parti-gyled with X and BO, the recipe is exactly the same. Just rather more of everything in OBE.
Surprisingly, for a beer of its strength, OBE seems to have principally been a draught beer. I had wondered whether it was a seasonal beer. Barclay Perkins also called their KKKK Old Burton Extra. It was even stronger than Fullers’ version and was only available during the winter. As I’ve found batches of Fullers OBE brewed in July, I’m guessing that it was available year-round.
