Whereas the export version is considerably more heavily hopped than even P2 Stock. At over 20 lbs per quarter (336 lbs) of malt, it’s in IPA territory. Very heavy, even for the 19th century. All fresh hops, from the 1886 harvest. Two thirds from Kent, one third from Worcester. Top-quality stuff.
Not much to say about the grist. Which was, again, 100% of a single type of pale malt.
Now for the tricky bit. How long was this aged? Quite a long time. My guess is 12 months in wood then another six months in bottle.

What colour would these beers have been? Using modern malts of course the recipe ends up with a beer with very low SRM which would be "lager" coloured.
However any home brewer trying for a knock-off of Timothy Taylor Landlord immediately comes up with the problem that TT has its malt specially kilned by Thomas Fawcett to a certain colour and this malt is not available for sale to us.
Would that have been the case in the late 19th Century?
6.2 percent, same strength as Orval. Wonder what the IBU of Orval is?

There are several articles stating that Orval has about 32 IBU. I dunno if there is a reliable source.
32 IBU seems rather low for a stock pale ale.
