Porter vs Stout: What’s the Difference?
- Porter — born in London in the 1700s, uses roasted but not burnt malts. Lighter, with notes of milk chocolate, caramel, and fruit. Typical ABV 4-7% vol
- Stout — an evolution of Porter, uses barley malt roasted to the point of burning. More bitter and intense, with notes of espresso coffee and dark chocolate. Typical ABV 4-12% vol
If it’s your first dark beer, Porter is the ideal starting point: more accessible and less bitter than Stout.
