Notes

This is frustrating. While I understand exactly how Stock 1 was handled and what name it was sold under, I know next to nothing about Stock 2.

Intriguingly, I’ve no other brewing record for it. I’ve numbered Truman Ales for 1 right down to 8. Except for 2. My guess is that it was the first of Truman’s numbered range to be dropped. It’s sudden reappearance in 1940 must be connected to the war. Perhaps it was a weaker version of Barley Wine.

While the grist contains most of the elements found in Truman’s other beers, there are some differences. The most obvious being that Stock 2 was an all-malt beer. At least a non-adjunct beer. The flaked rice in all their other beers is absent here.

Just like Stock 1, it's insanely heavily hopped. Which is logical, as they were parti-gyled together. Around 5 lbs per barrel.Despite them being low-alpha acid English hops, that still leaves the calculated bitterness level just short of 100 IBU.
