colored malt. Beer is rather darker in color and is made of malt, hops,and water. Porter is a dark brown beer, heavy in body. Stout is beer of a stouter and heavier quality than porter. It is brewed from the high-dried malt and is treated in the same way as porter. London and Dublin stouts are considered the best. Root beer is a beverage containing the extracts of various roots, such as dock,dandelion,sarsaparilla,and sassafras. Ginger ale is an effervescent drink very similar to ginger beer. It ranks, however,as an aerated-water beverage. Malt extracts are concentrated, unfermented infusions of malt. They are considered most efficacious in furthering nutrition.
