It could very well be a blend of two finished beers. Greene King does or did something similar with an Old Ale that was matured and then blended with a younger ale before bottling. Newcastle Brown Ale is also said to once have been brewed like this.
I have some Broughton beer data in my copy of the 1992 Real Ale Almanac, but the names do not fit. They have an Old Jock, that is a proper Old Ale with 6.7% in there and an Oatmeal Stout and a Porter called Black Douglas. Might be that some of these are the same as the ones you search, but it could also be that my data is outdated.
