A rich, thick and velvety stout
Rekindle lost love with Double Stout
Back when Fuller’s originally brewed Double Stout, stout simply meant strong. Now, of course, in modern brewing parlance, stout is a style all of its own. It’s to be expected that a few things have changed in that time though – we first brewed it in 1893.
Where to find it:
A recipe revived
Lost for more than a century, Double Stout is the second beer in the Past Masters series - recreated with love, care and a recipe that borders on the antique. Its signature ingredient is Plumage Archer barley, a Victorian variety that’s been carefully malted and kilned using authentic 19th century methods.
Brewer's Notes
Almost black but with crimson highlights, this creamy beer offers a rich, fruity aroma and smoky, bittersweet chocolate notes. Bitter hops find the tongue, but they’re balanced by creamy malt, as the beer draws towards a velvety, lasting finish with hints of dark fruit, chocolate and coffee.
Raise a glass
To get as close as possible to the original recipe, our brewers followed a similar ‘mashing and sparging’ routine to that used in 1893 - despite the considerable advancements in brewing technology since then.
