Athelbrose is almost certainly period, but I suspect it's one of those
dishes where the modern version is a bit more fun than its austere
ancestor, which appears to have been  made of oats and water, kept at
body temperature until a tiny amount of fermentation has taken place.
Definitely not much fun...
