Ales will continue to age in the bottle. Brown Ale - As above, but usually a dark colored ale, and somewhat sweet in taste. Stout - An extra dark top fermenting brew. The yeast causes the fermentation to occur on the surface of the vessel. Stouts are made with highly roasted malts.
Stouts can be either sweet or dry in taste.
Although they are dark, they are not high in alcohol. Stouts are not highly carbonated. Sam Smith's Pale Ale - A fine, English pale. Belhaven St. Andrews Ale - from Scotland. Royal Oak- from England.
