Stout
Stouts are top-fermented beers that are typically dark and have distinctive roasted flavors. Their introduction is closely connected to British porter—a style that was developed in London sometime in the 18th century. Stout evolved from the desire to create a fuller and stronger porter, though this distinction is no longer present.
Typical stout will have aromas of roasted barley and roasted malt reminiscent of coffee, chocolate, or cocoa. Traditional dry stouts range from black to deep brown and are usually medium-light to medium-full in body, smooth, creamy, and silky. They typically have little hop character and a long dry finish.
Nowadays, the stout category is quite versatile, but the most prominent representative is the famed Guinness Stout—which is believed to be the prototype from which the style evolved. Read more
Nowadays, this category incorporates various additional ingredients and styles such as sweet, oatmeal, English, Imperial, Foreign Extra, and American stouts, which will likely have a bolder hop presence, as well as many sub-styles. The distinction is also made between draught and bottle stouts, and the former will typically be creamier and have a more persistent head.
Regardless of variations and differences in style, stouts are often an excellent match to fried, salty, and spicy dishes, as well as rich and sweet desserts. They also pair well with blue-veined and aged alpine cheeses.
