Truman brewed quite an array of Black Beers, many of them confusingly similar to each other. Weakest of the bunch was Bottling Porter. Well, I assume that’s what it was. In the brewing record it just says “Bottling”.
Though who knows what was on the label. The presence of a small amounted of oat malt tells me that at least some of it was marketed as Oat Stout. Aa type of beer that really took off in the first decade of the 20th century.
Loads is going on in the grist. In addition to the classic pale, brown black malt combination, there’s also some crystal and the aforementioned oats. Most are in pretty small amounts, which makes you wonder what the point was. Well, in the case of the oats I do: so they could legally sell it as Oat Stout.
The sugar is a guess. All I know about the original is that there were two types and they were manufactured by Fowler. No. 3 invert is my best guess.
Three types of hops were employed: two from Worcester, one from Oregon, all from the 1908 harvest.
