In the early 1870s Truman replaced their XX Ale with something called 40/- Ale. A name which clearly its price per barrel. Standard X Ale usually being sold for 36/- per barrel.It wasn't around for very long, being dropped sometime between 1881 and 1885.

This batch was the junior partner of a parti-gyle with the X Ale above. With 120 barrels of 40/- Ale being paired with 590 barrels of X Ale. Where was it sold? Possibly in London. Brewers in the capital sometimes made stronger versions of beer for the local market. Though these usually included an “L” in the brewhouse name.

Not much else to say, as all the recipe details I’ve already discussed in the X Ale text.
