Aroma: Coffee-like roasted barley and roasted malt aromas are prominent; may have slight chocolate, cocoa and/or
grainy secondary notes. Esters medium-low to none. No diacetyl. Hop aroma low to none.
Appearance: Jet black to deep brown with garnet highlights in color. Can be opaque (if not, it should be clear). A
thick, creamy, long-lasting, tan- to brown-colored head is characteristic.
Flavor: Moderate roasted, grainy sharpness, optionally with light to moderate acidic/sourness, and medium to high hop
bitterness. Dry, coffee-like finish from roasted grains. May have a bittersweet or unsweetened chocolate character in
the palate, lasting into the finish. Balancing factors may include some creaminess, medium-low to no fruitiness, and
medium to no hop flavor. No diacetyl.
Mouthfeel: Medium-light to medium-full body, with a creamy character. Low to moderate carbonation. For the high
hop bitterness and significant proportion of dark grains present, this beer is remarkably smooth. The perception of
body can be affected by the overall gravity with smaller beers being lighter in body. May have a light astringency from
the roasted grains, although harshness is undesirable.
Overall Impression: A very dark, roasty, bitter, creamy ale.
History: The style evolved from attempts to capitalize on the success of London porters, but originally reflected a
fuller, creamier, more "stout" body and strength. When a brewery offered a stout and a porter, the stout was always
the stronger beer (it was originally called a “Stout Porter”). Modern versions are brewed from a lower OG and no
longer reflect a higher strength than porters.
Vital Statistics: OG: 1.036 – 1.050
IBUs: 30 – 45 FG: 1.007 – 1.011
SRM: 25 – 40+ ABV: 4 – 5%
