Brown beer
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.
Bottom fermentation
Fermented at a temperature between 39°F and 54°F, bottom fermented beers are usually less fruity and have a lower alcohol content than top fermented ones. Moreover, they often contain more carbon dioxide and should be drunk at a lower temperature.
This type of fermentation spread during the 19th century. It became famous because of a beer brewed in the city of Pilsen in Czech Republic. Since this time, the name of the city has been transmitted to bottom fermented beers that are usually called "Pils".
Not refermented in the bottle
After main fermentation, these beers are bottled and ready to be drunk. This way, absence of refermentation allows a shorter brewing process.
Glossary of avalaible pictograms
Abbey beer
Beer that uses the name of an abbey that exists or existed in the past.
Recipe wasn't necessarily nor created by monks neither brewed within the abbey formerly.
Double malting
Beer brewed with a malt quantity double as usual. As malt provides sugar for the fermentation, double malted beers contain a little more alcohol and have a sweeter flavor that the ones with a single quantity of malt. Even if there is no obligation, double malted beers are used to be brown.
As there is no official definition for a "double" beer, the preceding explanation is mostly used in Belgium but is not approved unanimously.

"Balanced" foam
Beer with a balanced foam, not too much, not too few! These beers are likely to be served in a round glass slightly flared to obtain a good proportion between foam and beer.
Depending on the habits, the beer can be served at one go or in two times. In this case, serve a first part of the beer and begin to enjoy. Then serve the rest of the beer to obtain a beautiful collar again.
This balanced foam allows very thirsty people to drink from the bottle :-)
