Stout beer achieves its taste and color by being brewed with roasted malt. Unlike lager beer, stout beer utilizes top fermenting yeasts. Today, the term stout has come to describe the beers with the strongest taste, weight and darkness.

Stout beer is classified as either bitter or sweet. Within these two categories, there are several different types of stout beer.

Dry stout is the original formula for this type of beer. Dry stout is usually dark, bitter, and rich. Guinness is an example of dry stout. Stout may also be flavored with chocolate, dark fruit, or coffee. These additives create a sweeter or a drier stout beer.

Another type of stout is imperial stout, is particularly strong in taste and has a hint of sweetness. It is a black and particularly dense variety of stout that has a strong alcohol content of six to seven percent. Imperial stout is commonly flavored with dried fruit and burnt cocoa.

Oatmeal stout is another sweet variety of stout beer. Oats are used instead of malt in order to brew oatmeal stout. Oats were originally added to stout because it was believed they were an important part of the diet. Oatmeal stout has a smooth texture and a strong flavor.

Sweet stout is another type of stout. As would be expected, sweet stout has a sweet taste. A sweet stout may have a caramel or chocolate flavor to it, because lactic sugars and chocolate malts are used during the brewing process. For this reason, sweet stout is sometimes called cream stout or milk stout.
