Stout is a dark beer made using roasted malt or roasted barley, hops, water & yeast. Stouts were traditionally the generic term for the strongest or stoutest porters, typically 7% or 8%, produced by a brewery. In this sense a stout is not necessarily dark in colour because there were also pale stouts. There are a number of variations including Baltic porter, dry stout & imperial stout. The name porter was first used in 1721 to describe a dark brown beer popular w/ street & river porters of London that had been made w/ roasted malts. This same beer later also became known as stout though the word stout had been used as early as 1677. The history & development of stout & porter are intertwined.
