Stout / Porter
Stouts and porters are often confused, but the prevailing difference is that stouts are brewed using roasted barley whilst porters are not. They are, however both rich, dark and complex beers with, again, a huge group of sub-styles present for both. Dry stouts and export stouts are beers which derive all their flavour from roasted barley and speciality malts, and often, can be slightly higher in strength. They are often brewed with oatmeal for a smoother body. Stouts and porters can also contain other flavours such as fruit, or more exotic ingredients. These are often brewed to very high, or Imperial strength and are sometimes aged for a time in used spirit or wine barrels. Generally speaking, stout and porter are where brewers tend to be able to express themselves the most as the beers can be vehicles for all manner of wacky ingredients and flavour profiles.
