Flaked oats appear in the Whitbread and Truman examples to enable some to be sold as Oatmeal Stout. I wonder if any drinkers noticed that Oatmeal Stout and plain old Stout were identical? Not much to report, other than that. Some flaked maize at Barclay Perkins, along with roast barley. Truman also used roast barley in place of black malt.
Much more complications with the sugars, with seven different ones across the four breweries.
There’s No. 3 in a couple, which is what you would expect. Black sugar I’m guessing is something along the lines of No. 4 invert. Duttson and CDM are types of caramel. While cane sugar is just raw cane sugar. Something easily supplied by Britain’s tropical colonies in the Caribbean and the Far East.
