Stout would remain an obligatory element in an English brewery’s beer range well into the 20th century. Though the quantities brewed might be quite small as it became increasingly only available in bottled form.

For a Stout, the grist is pretty simple. Just one coloured grain: black malt. Along with some sugar and caramel. You may have noticed that Adnams didn’t a whole load of different types of malt. Other than base malt, the small amount of black malt they needed for Stout was the only other one.

Two types of hops, Altmark and Sussex. I’m not really sure what variety the former were. I’ve just gone with the most common type of German hops. Ditto with Sussex and Fuggles.

Was this aged? I don’t really know. Maybe. But probably not more than six months.
