Stout in the food context refers to a dark, strong beer with a rich, malty flavour, often characterised by roasted barley, coffee, and chocolate notes. This style of beer is known for its thick, creamy texture and is typically brewed with a higher percentage of roasted malts, which give it its distinctive deep brown to black colour. Stout is popular not only as a drink but also as an ingredient in cooking, where its robust flavour is used to enhance dishes, particularly in stews, marinades, desserts, and sauces.
