At a touch over 1050º, it’s not exactly strong by the standards of the day. The strongest Pale Ale at Barclay Perkins, for example, had a gravity of 1060º. Even their Mild Ale was stronger at 1054º.
The hopping was also far lighter than in Barclay Perkins PA. A mere 5 lbs per quarter of malt (336 lbs) compared to 13 lbs in the London beer. That results in the very low for the time: just 28 (calculated) IBU.
I’m not going to get into a discussion of the recipe, as this was parti-gyled with the two beers above.
Considering it was the strongest of the set, a surprisingly large percentage of PI was brewed. In this particular parti-gyle equal quantities of all three beers were produced. But in others, up to half the volume was in the form of PI.

Would be funny if Fynes ales brewed this beer and called it Magnum PI.
