Commercial Description:
Bottle, Regular
Robert Burns the legendary Scottish poet used his role as an Excise man as an inspiration for the rollicking song "the deil’s awa with the Exciseman" In the 19th Century it was the Excise men who had responsibility of applying tax to all beers and ales. The name 80/- derives from the duty rate stamped on the end of the casks. Exciseman’s 80/- was specially brewed to mark 25 Years of Brewing at Broughton Ales.A dark malty brew, full of the rich flavours typical of classic Scottish 80/- ales. Full drinking with a good hop aftertaste Just the sort of ale Burns would have savoured during his time as an officer of the Excise Major ingredients are:- Optic Pale Ale Malt, Black Malt, Crystal Malt Hops used are English grown Challenger, Fuggles and first Gold.

Clear deep amber with tiny medium head. Sweet and fruity aroma with malty notes. Sweet fruity flavor with caramel, toasted malt, wood and hoppy notes.

Bottled. An amber coloured beer with an off-white head. The aroma is boozy alcohol with toffee and caramel. Sweet and malty but with some cardboard. The taste is sweet with caramel notes. Malty and alcoholic. Fruity but sadly dominated by pasteurized cardboardness. Shame.

Botella. Comprada en supermercado. La peor de las Broughton que he tomado hasta el momento. Solo amarga, nada mas. Muy poco aroma. No vuelvo a tomarla.
