Barley Wine
Barleywine is a strong ale that ranges from copper to dark brown in color. These beers have a full body and bold maltiness balanced by a strong hop character. This is a complex ale with extraordinary alcohol content.

Bitter
Bitter is the term for draught pale ale in the UK. Copper colored and hoppy, this is the most popular style of ale produced by British brewers.

Bock
Bocks are traditional German-style beers that are strong, malty, and medium- to full-bodied. Bocks can range in color from golden to deep copper to dark brown, they are generally stronger than typical lagers. This style came from the town of Einbeck, and the name was eventually corrupted to Ein Bock, the German word for goats, explaining why goats are pictured on many bock beer labels.

Brown Ale
Brown ale is typically considered a British beer style, although France and Belgium also produce brown ales. The British make a sweet, dark brown ale in southern England, as well as the drier Northern version. Both are low in hops and get their color from a blend of roasted malt.

Cream Ale / American Lager
A true American style, cream ales are mild, pale, light-bodied ales or lagers. These beers are crisp and refreshing and are low in hops, with a creamy head.

Cream Stout / Milk Stout / Sweet Stout
Cream stouts have less roasted bitter flavor and a full-bodied mouthfeel. The style can be given more body with milk sugar (lactose). Malt sweetness, chocolate, and caramel flavor should dominate the flavor profile. Hops should balance sweetness without contributing apparent flavor or aroma.
