By this process the beer becomes very liable to spoil. It is the worst expedient that the brewer can practise: the beer thusrendered _mild_, soon loses its vinous taste; it becomes vapid; andspeedily assumes a muddy grey colour, and an exceedingly disagreeabletaste. These sophistications may be considered, at first, as minor crimespractised by fraudulent brewers, when compared with the methods employedby them for rendering beer noxious to health by substances absolutelyinjurious. To increase th...e intoxicating quality of beer, the deleterious vegetablesubstance, called _cocculus indicus_, and the extract of this poisonousberry, technically called _black extract_, or, by some, _hard multum_, are employed. Opium, tobacco, nux vomica, and extract of poppies, havealso been used. This fraud constitutes by far the most censurable offence committed byunprincipled brewers; and it is a lamentable reflection to behold sogreat a number of brewers prosecuted and convicted of this crime; nor isit less deplorable to find the names of druggists, eminent in trade, implicated in the fraud, by selling the unlawful ingredients to brewersfor fraudulent purposes.
