Plenty of recipes on Wikipedia. Laudanum - Wikipedia
Probably not as far off as you might think. Homebrewers have done the research, and apparently prior to Prohibition, they were quite a bit heavier and hoppier, but between the drinking culture changes that happened post-Prohibition and the significant number of women in the workforce during WWII, they gradually became lower gravity and less bitter over time.
However, the basic recipes remained much the same, being composed of barley and corn or rice adjuncts, even if they’re now using less grain and hops per barrel of beer.
So if you don’t like them now, I think it’s unlikely that you’d like them then- they’d just be stronger versions of the same thing.
Also… Coors’ Batch 19 is supposedly the original pre-Prohibition recipe, so you can try it today, albeit with all the advantages of modern temperature and quality control, so it’s likely slightly better.
:dubious: Okay, phone, wtf?

Yay for government regulations.
I made up a mix-six the other day and included a bottle of Batch 19 out of curiousity. Liked it, surprisingly good.
surprised that nobody has mentioned a bottle of ether. It has happened a few times in my life that I needed to humanely put down a mouse or a hamster. I’d like to have a bottle around for that purpose.
Starting fluid would suffice if that is all you need it to do.
1900 might be just a tad early to pick up a bottle or two of adrenaline. I think the synthesis was discovered, but probably not sold yet.
According to snopes, it would be no kind of buzz. Plus, it’d be warm. :slight disgust smiley:
