| 58 | Original Porter (1750) | per Gallon |
| OG 90 |
1750 porters would have contained mostly brown malt. These cannot be made satisfactorily from present-day brown malts. The above recipe is constructed to meet the contemporary descriptions of 1750 porter, i.e. black, strong, bitter and nutritious. It is one of the circle's favourite old beers. It might not be authentic, but it is good! The Dorchester ale recipe is probably as close to 1750 porter as can be made at present. |
