Stouts (beer)

Stouts are a dark, rich type of beer characterized by deep flavors often associated with roasted malts, which give them their signature dark color and roasted coffee or chocolate notes. They typically have a full-bodied, smooth texture and can range from slightly sweet to bitter. Originating in Ireland, stouts are brewed with roasted malt or roasted barley, creating complex flavors. Variations include dry stouts, sweet stouts, and imperial stouts, each differing in sweetness, strength, and intensity. Overall, stouts are appreciated for their bold, warming qualities and layered, toasty flavors.
