Stout is a dark
beer made using roasted
malt or roasted barley,
hops, water and yeast. Stouts were traditionally the generic term for the strongest or stoutest
porters, typically 7% or 8%, produced by a
brewery. There are a number of variations including Baltic porter, milk stout, and imperial stout; the most common variation is dry stout, exemplified by
Guinness Draught, the world's best selling stout.
