Malt liquor is a strong lager or ale in which sugar, corn or other adjuncts are added to the malted barley to boost the total amount of fermentable sugars in the wort, and thus boost the final alcohol concentration without creating a heavier or sweeter taste.
Magnesium silicate is a chemical compound consisting of magnesium, silicon, and oxygen. It exists in several forms, both natural and manufactured. One of the most common forms of this compound is the mineral talc, which can be found in deposits around the world and is used in many industrial and everyday applications.
Olivine (see Figures 2a and 2b below) is the most common silicate of this type, and it makes up most of the mantle. Because these minerals contain a relatively high proportion of iron and magnesium, they tend to be both dense and dark-colored.
