There's not much in the way of sugars. Just two, called saccharum and sugar. Which is a bit confusing as I thought saccharum was just another word for sugar. I would have thought that it was just an inconsistency in notation. Except a couple of beer contain both.
What are they then? I’m guessing at least one is a type of invert. And perhaps the “sugar” was raw cane sugar. Who knows?
Several of the beers – 80/-, BB, Ex B and XXX Porter – contained no sugar at all. While 100/- and 140/- contained more than 10%. Presumably, because of the higher gravity.
