American Stout
American Stout is an American Ale beer style. It typically presents as black. Coffee-like roasted barley and roasted malt aromas are prominent. Low to medium malt sweetness with low to medium caramel, chocolate, and/or roasted coffee flavor should be present, with a distinct dry-roasted bitterness in the finish. Astringency from roasted malt and roasted barley is low. Slight roasted malt acidity is acceptable. Medium to high, often with citrusy and/or resiny hop qualities typical of many American hop varieties.
Notes: Head retention should be persistent
