Apparently, this is a blend of PRIZE OLD ALE and BUTSER to an ABV of1045 it also has sugar and dark caramel added at the priming stage.

Sounds to me as if the Prize Old Ale component could be strong and may benefit from a long maturation.

Didn't someone post a brewday a couple of months ago for a brown ale made in a similar way - blending a strong, aged beer with a fresh, young one?

Prize Old Ale is ABV 1092 so would need a long maturation period,Newcastle Brown Ale is formulated in the same way It is a way of getting a medium gravity ale with the same attributes of a strong ale.
