Just finished a keg of what could be termed a Toohey's Old Clone. If I remember rightly it was an English Bitter type grain bill with chocolate malt to get the dark colour, lightly hopped with UK hops and brewed clean with US05. At work at the moment but will post recipe this evening.

Here's my recipe ...
My 60l clone of Toohey’s Old was a blend of two thirds Marmalade Ale (40l - AG with extract) and one third Dark English Ale (20l - AG). I made the Marmalade Ale first ... let it mature for about 4 weeks at room temp with no carbonation (can you lager an Ale?) and then blended it with the Dark English ale.

Sounds like a lot of effort ... but the three kegs were very popular!
Yep.
Tooheys old is made with a base malt and one special crystal type malt thats made especially for it, and not available to us. Im not sure of its exact specs but Ross got hols of a bit many MANY years back...... before we all even found AHB.
It was somewhere between dark crystal and chocolate malt.
Tooheys old doesnt taste like an IPA so lots of hops wont even be close.
And if Tooheys old has brown malt in it..... i will drink VB and smile.
You wont get an exact clone cause we cant use the malt they use but you can get close... if not improve on it. Keep it simple, use a clean yeast, mash low around 64 deg and keep the bitterness low.
Here is what i recomend and never get complaints. I enjoy it at the pub but dont clone it any more... its loo light and sweet for me. I like a propper brown porter, and leave tooheys old for the pub or club.
there you go the keep it simple from the Brew Guru
