Taxation to pay for the war with France concertinaed the gravities of Porter and Stout. With latter only
about 6º stronger than standard Porter. Still, under 6% ABV is pretty feeble for a 19th-century Stout.

Whitbread went for the three-malt option, including amber malt as well as the usual pale and brown. Leaving the brown malt content under 20%. Despite the presence of a fair amount amber malt, the colour is scarily pale. A similar colour to Truman Export and Keeping Stouts. More like a Dark Mild.

I won’t claim that I completely understand the mashing details. But I’m pretty sure that know what were the strike and tap temperatures. Nowhere can I see the volume of water used in the mashes.



Mash number
strike heat
tap heat


1
150º F
139.5º F


2
170º F
150.5º F


3
165º F
155º F


4
150º F
151.5º F


The only description of the hops is “new”. Which probably means from the most recent season.

I think the “Sea” in the name indicates that it was an export beer. Implying that it would have seen some time in a vat. A minimum of six months, I reckon.
