Stout is a dark beer made using roasted barley malt, hops and yeast. Traditionally the strongest (stoutest) porters, preferred by dock workers in the 19th century England. Today associated more with dark beer rather than just strong.

Can courtesy of the most generous djoeye, shared with Ogi and Hrabren. Murky brown body, beige head. Creamy, raisin, bit roasty, woody aroma, okay, if a bit lean. Dry taste, dried fruit, roast, quite lean, lightly oxidized, lightly astringent, but might be the age. Solid!
