assume stands for Double Brown Stout. One that they had been brewing for longer., since at least 1851.
DBS is the same gravity as S1, but that’s about where the similarity ends. There’s no sugar in DBS and the proportion of black malt is lower. Which leaves the colour a bit paler.
The biggest difference, however, is in the hopping. Which is just 2 lbs per quarter (336 lbs) of malt. Compared to 16 lbs per quarter for DBS. That’s quite a difference. And one which would be pretty obvious to drinkers.
In addition to lots of hops as well as lots of different types of hops. Two types of Kent from the 1884 harvest, American from 1883 and 1884, Californian from 1884 and Spalt from 1884.
This is definitely a beer for ageing. My guess is at least 12 months and possible as much as 24 months.
