20
Q

What is the difference between a Stout and a Porter?

A

Heritage, mostly. Porters are from London, whereas Stouts originated in Ireland. They are similar, but most expect stouts to be a little bit bigger and roastier with more roasted malt character

21
Q

What is the difference between a Scotch Ale and a Scottish ale?

A

Scotch Ales, or Wee Heavys, tend to be higher in ABV, above 6% at least, with a higher final gravity that makes them a touch sweeter. Scottish Ales on the other hand essentially refer to the lower ABV equivalent of an English Pale Ale, clocking in at around 3-5% ABV.

22
Q

What is an Irish Dry Stout?

A

Guiness, basically

Dry stout is black beer with a dry-roasted character thanks to the use of roasted barley. The emphasis on coffee-like roasted barley and a moderate degree of roasted malt aromas define much of the character. Hop bitterness is medium to medium high.

23
Q

What makes a beer “imperial”?

Just a bigger, bolder version of the use style

24
Q

25
Q

Tre Fontane - Italy

Spencer - MA

26
Q

What are Chimay’s 3 label colors all about?

A

Red (Premiere) - Dubbel

White (Cinq Cents) - Tripel

Blue (Classic) - Quadruppel

27
Q

What is the difference between a Dubbel, Tripel and Quadruppel?

A

The only way in which these follow a progression is by ABV.

Dubbel is a stronger version of the abbey’s paterswein, what’d they’d make for themselves. Twice as flavor and ABV. They use sugar candi, which imparts the color - the color is not from malt.

Tripel is GOLDEN. The name comes from the idea that it uses 3x the malt, but it is still fairly light and inviting.

Quadrupel is very comparable to a Belgian Strong Dark Ale. Malt, spicy yeast, high ABV, dark fruit, molasses, pepper.

28
Q

What is an Abbey Beer? Give an example.
