The history of the stout finds its first recorded usage of the word in 1677 and appeared to refer to a particularly strong beer versus a traditionally brown ale that we now consider a stout to be. This is probably as good a place as any to address the porter vs stout difference and the only real difference between the two types appears to be in what the brewers use to make them. A stout is traditionally renowned for its coffee like flavour and brewers believe that the source of this taste comes the use of roast barley which is unmalted before fermentation. The makers of the porter use malted barley like you'd find in most other pale ales. Apart from that, they're both roughly the same. You'll often find that a porter is a lighter tasting experience offering you a sweet and fruitier sensation on the tongue mixed chocolate and caramel flavours. The stout is offers you a more bitter and a hoppier taste, with just a touch of sharpness at the end. The kind of sharpness that beer drinkers like to grin and suck the air through their teeth about after their first mouthful. That's a stout.
The most popular stout you're likely to have come across is Guinness. This Irish dry stout is the epitome of traditional stout with a marriage of velvet roasted malts and bitterness to produce an iconic taste experience. While the Irish stout might be the most well-known and popular, the makers of craft beer are getting a handle on the recipe with a selection of the finest stouts brewed both here in Australia and overseas available to order online with Boozebud. Japanese stout beer is also very popular across the Orient.
What does extra stout mean?
The original usage of the English word stout' applies to the beer as well. It describes not just a beer type but also, usually, the alcohol content and strength of the beverage as well. Stout beers were exactly that, stout in content. Strong. Brave. Extra stout translates as extra strength. The Guinness Extra Stout has a 6% ABV while the normal Guinness has a 4% rating. There are some stout types available like the Mikkellar Imperial Stout from Denmark with has a 16.5% rating. The Goose Island 2019 Bourbon County Stout from the United States is barrel aged bourbon aged stout with a 15.2% rating.
Is stout beer healthy?
There is some old history of stout beer being a healthy alternative and for a little while in England, after the First World War, this beer style was marketed particularly to young mothers who were breastfeeding their newborn babies. It wasn't Guinness they were suggesting but milk stout beers. In England, the milk stout was the porter to Ireland's Guinness dry variety. It gets its name from the added lactose in the recipe which isn't digested by the yeast and no remains in the final taste to produce a sweet stout.
In Medieval Europe, oatmeal was frequently added to ales in general with up to 35% oatmeal in the mix but generally oatmeal is considered to provide a bitter taste to the final product, so it not used anymore. The association of oatmeal with porridge gave stout makers a marketing edge and briefly oatmeal stout was marketed for its restorative health benefits. This was not accurate. Nobody now tells you that stout or beer is healthier or as healthy as a bowl of porridge.
One of the biggest reasons why stout was marketed to tired women was based on the caloric count of every pint. Stout beers are very high in calories, sometimes referred to as a loaf of bread in a glass so if you're watching your calorie count and your diet sheet, you'll want to make room for your chosen stout on that list.
