Prepared with strongly roasted malt, they are recognizable thanks to their dark color.
Usually, these are the strongest beers. Some of them, because of the roasted malt, have a slightly acidulous taste.
Fermented at a temperature between 59°F and 79°F, top fermented beers are famous because of their more complex flavours. Moreover, they often have a higher alcohol content (depending on the malt quantity) than bottom fermented ones.
This fermentation type was originally the most spread one, but since this time bottom fermented beers have flooded the market. Mainly brewed by artisanal breweries, top fermented beers are the ones prefered by beer lovers.
After main fermentation, these beers are bottled and ready to be drunk. This way, absence of refermentation allows a shorter brewing process.

Beer with an abundant foam. These beers will be served in a balloon glass slightly flared for a good proportion between foam and beer, and not too large with high borders in order to contain all the foam.
Tip: serve a first part of the beer, slowly with the glass slightly bended, keep a part of the beer in the bottle. Begin to enjoy it, then serve the rest of the beer to obtain again a beautiful foam collar.
This abundant foam doesn't allow thirsty people to drink from the bottle :-)
Black beer brewed using strongly roasted malts. Its taste is recognizable thanks to its quite strong bitterness and a coffee-like flavor.
