DARK BEER

Is Dark Beer Stronger than Regular Beer?

Dark beer isn't necessarily stronger in terms of ABV when compared to regular beer. Some dark beers, like stouts, have lower ABVs than certain pale ales or IPAs, while others, such as Imperial Stouts, can be significantly stronger. The term "dark beer" refers to the colour and flavour profile, which come from the roasted malts or grains used in brewing for production. Ultimately, dark beers stand out for their complexity and depth of flavour rather than sheer strength. Take note of the fact that dark beers offer a unique drinking experience that goes beyond alcohol content alone.
