As usual, there are loads of coloured malts. Specifically, brown, black and amber. Though there are a few idiosyncrasies about the grist. The oddest is the presence of oats. As this wasn’t parti-gyled with an Oatmeal Stout, the oats must be intended for this beer. Was some of it sold in India as Oatmeal Stout?
Then there’s the sugar. Which, for some reason is No. 2 invert rather than No. 3. Why would that be? Perhaps the colour would be too dark with No. 3 sugar.
Four types of hops this time around. Some foreign ones, too. Namely, Hallertau from the 1910 harvest and Sonoma from 1909. With East Kent from 1909 and 1910. With the latter also used as dry hops.

6.8 percent ABV is an interesting strength.

Would this have been cellared and worked by Brett before shipping off?
