- Technically, yes. A dark ale. Classically, all top fermenting beers
- are refered to as ales.
-
- Still, for example Michael Jackson separates stouts, porter, and
- ale types (Pale Mild, Dark Mild, Bitter, Pale Ale etc, etc) on different
- branches of his "The Family Tree of Beer Styles".
-
- It makes things perhaps a bit more clear to do this rather than make
- stouts a sub-branch of the ale types.
-
- But, as mentioned above, classically all top fermenting beers are refered to
- as ales. (According to what I've read)
