Does anyone know where I might be able to find Meantime London Stout?
-I've seen some Meantime

It's a 6.5% "Stout Porter" based upon a mid-18th century recipe using 100% brown malt.

I've never heard of any comercial brewery making a 100% brown malt historical porter before and I'm REALLY excited to "taste a piece of history" like this; I really want to track one down...

Sounds like the marketing men really got you <!-- s:) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt="" title="Smile" /><!-- s:) -->

Lol!

I've actually been researching historical porter recipes and trying to track down brown malt for making such a recipe myself; now that I know that I might be able to taste a 100% brown malt porter, I'd really like the chance to taste the recipe before possibly brew something I won't like....

(I'd market this beer FOR THEM to be honest.)

sainsbury's in newry had it a while ago, I didn't like it at all, it was quite sweet and fairly thin. I haven't had any of their beers that wasn't pretty underwhelming. And they have those PITA labels that have tin glued on with industrial glue. Argghh!

Dunno where you're getting this from, Adam, but you've been misled.

Meantime London Porter[/url:1wsv1b6p] is the historical 6.5% ABV one. It's very very nice, but isn't 100% brown malt.

Meantime London Stout[/url:1wsv1b6p] is 5.4% ABV and is quite a dry, earthy sort of beer. I quite liked it, but opinion is divided. It's not 100% brown malt either -- black malt is in the driving seat here.

I've seen both in Dublin's good beer offies fairly recently.

You're right I misread; "100% Malt, including brown malt" not "100% brown malt"...

(100% brown malt probably wouldn't taste that great anyway...)
