Stouts were also known as “Stout Porters”, very dark, almost black in colour achieved with roasted malt and/or with roasted barley, dark caramel malt, or even some chocolate malt. They’re strong, often with an alcohol content of 4% – 8%.

Stouts do not have a single style, but rather are a family of sub-styles that have evolved over many years, these sub-styles include Imperial, Sweet and Oatmeal Stouts.
