Stout

Stout is a dark brown, almost black beer distinguished by its bitter flavours of coffee and chocolate, resulting from the use of roasted or toasted malt.

What is a Stout?

The Stout beer style originated in England, but today, there are many sub-varieties of stouts from all around the world. Consequently, alcohol percentages also vary greatly, ranging from 3% to 13%. Traditional Stout is a dry, bitter beer that often reveals flavors of chocolate, caramel, and coffee. Stout has its origins in the British capital, London, specifically in the London docks. The history of Stout beer is closely linked to that of Porter beer style. Porter was born in the 18th century and was particularly popular among the porters in the London port. With the increasing popularity of Porter beer, more and more breweries started brewing this style and experimented with its composition. Soon, a stronger and more robust variant emerged in the wake of Porter beer: the stout porter. The English term 'stout' literally means robust, hence a robust porter. That's why stout was essentially a stronger version of the famous London Porter beer. However, the distinction between a Stout and a Porter is very thin, to the point that today the difference only lies on the label.

Different types of stout beer

There are numerous variants of the traditional Stout:

  • Russian Imperial Stout: This Russian variant is even stronger than the standard stout and is characterized by flavors of roasted chocolate, coffee, caramel, and dark fruits. A Imperial stout can contain up to 13% abv. Nashe zdoróvje!
  • American Stout: It features typical coffee and chocolate aromas but also those of hops and citrus.
  • Oatmeal Stout: Oatmeal stout is a stout made with oatmeal during the mash.
  • Irish Stout: Compared to the original recipe, the Irish Porter is firmer with a drier and more bitter aftertaste. It's the most common type of Stout in Ireland, with the iconic examples being Guinness and Murphy's.
  • Oyster Stout: Oyster stout is a stout beer brewed with oysters

All about Stout beer

Although this style originates from London, the most famous brewery producing Stout is located in Dublin: the St. James Gate brewery, or better know as Guinness.

Imperial Stout is best served in a tulip beer glass to bring out the aromas. Other varieties are preferred to be enjoyed in an English pint glass.

The strongest Imperial Stout has an alcohol content of 39%. It is made in Belgium by De Struise brewers. And perhaps surprisingly, it tastes great too!

Stout beer has a strong and distinctive taste, which is why it pairs particularly well with foods such as game stews and venison steak. Irish Stout, on the other hand, pairs very well with seafood such as oysters and caviar.

The flavors of cocoa beans and coffee in a stout beer go very well with a chocolate dessert and brings sweet texture.
