Though they didn’t parti-gyle them together, Kidd still had the same basic recipe that they used for their Porter and Stout.

Which doesn’t leave me much to say about the grist. Everything I said about the porter also applies here. Except that the Stout contains no oats.

There is a difference in the hopping. Porter had 2/3rd 1914 Sussex and one third 1916 Farnhams. Stout was 50-50 1916 Kents and 1916 Farnhams. Again, all fresh hops is a sign that this was a posher beer.

Like the Porter, the Stout recipe also contained “Spanish juice”, this time one pound. It works out to 0.03 oz for a brew of this size (5 Imperial, 5 US gallons, 23 litres).
