Stout

From high strength Imperial Stouts, to lower strength and slightly more bitter Dry Stouts or sweeter creamier style Milk Stouts to name but a few, they are the darkest of all beers, encompassing multiple different styles within the genre. On the whole stouts will exhibit some roasted malt character, be black in appearance but from there on can vary greatly in strength and flavour profile.

What Makes Stout Unique?

Stout is distinguished by its dark, roasted malt, which gives it its rich, deep flavours and dark colour. This style of beer typically has a creamy mouthfeel and can range from slightly bitter to sweet, depending on the ingredients and brewing techniques. If you’re a fan of dark beers, explore our Porter collection for similar flavours.

Types of Stout

There are various types of stout, each offering unique characteristics. Dry stouts, like Guinness, are known for their roasty flavours and dry finish. Sweet or milk stouts contain lactose, adding a creamy sweetness, while imperial stouts are bolder, with higher ABV and complex flavours of dark fruit, chocolate, and coffee. For more craft options, see our Craft Beer collection.

Food Pairings with Stout

Stouts pair wonderfully with rich, hearty foods, such as roasted meats, stews, and barbecued dishes. Their robust flavours also complement chocolate desserts and sharp cheeses, providing a balanced pairing experience.

The History of Stout

Stout originated as a stronger version of porter in 18th-century London, evolving into its own style over time. With its intense, roasted flavours and dark colour, stout became a popular choice among beer enthusiasts. Today, it’s enjoyed worldwide in various styles, from classic dry stouts to modern imperial versions. For other historic brews, explore our Belgium collection.

Modern Innovations in Stout

In recent years, craft breweries have embraced stout, experimenting with ingredients like chocolate, vanilla, and spices. Barrel-aged stouts have become particularly popular, adding layers of complexity from the barrels. For those interested in innovative brewing, take a look at our New Beers collection.

Collecting and Aging Stout

Imperial stouts, in particular, are well-suited for aging, with some varieties developing deeper flavours over time. As they age, these stouts often gain notes of vanilla, oak, and dark fruit, making them valuable additions to any beer collection. For other collectible options, explore our Fine Wine collection.
