Let's Brew - 1948 Drybrough Burns Ale

In typical Scottish fashion, Drybrough only had the one recipe. From which they brewed three Pale Ales of varying degrees of wateriness and a Strong Ale, Burns. Named after the poet, not the facial hair.

There’s a little more black malt in this one, but otherwise it’s much the same recipe as the single-gyle 60/-. But with more oomph. Lot’s more oomph. Enough oomph to get you intoxicating after fewer than a dozen pints.

Though due to the rubbish degree of attenuation, it’s only a little over 5% ABV. You’d expect a beer of this gravity to be at least 6.5% ABV.
