Originally a variant of Porter beer, the term “stout” was first introduced by Guinness in the 1820’s regarding their Stout-Porter. After this, the beer industry freely used the word “stout” to describe a “strong” beer. In fact, it wasn’t until the end of the 19th century that stout was only associated with porter (synonymous with a dark beer).

Today, Stout differs from Porter in that Stout is usually darker, higher in alcohol content, and richer through the use of heavily roasted malt. Styles of Stout may vary considerably and include Sweet, Dry, Oatmeal, Imperial, and Flavored. Check out a few of Habersham's great specialty Stouts at the best prices in town!

		Young's Double Chocolate Stout 4 1/4 Stars
		"Young's Double Chocolate Stout when drank at near-room temperature is a semi-sweet, chocolatey slightly smoky beer. It's quite flavorful. Though it finishes slightly bitter, it also hints at a sugary-berry sort of taste. As I drank it I kept thinking it make a good substitute for rootbeer in a vanilla-rootbeer float. It's quite good, and I'd recommend it to someone looking to try a stout for the first time." -Alcoholreviews.com 12 oz 4pk: $7.99

		Young's Oatmeal Stout 5% ABV 88 Points
		"Dark blackish-brown hue. Fruity, chocolatey aromas follow through on a medium-bodied palate with a smooth mouthfeel, delicate hop flavors and a gentle, bittersweet finish. A highly drinkable Oatmeal Stout." -Beverage Tasting Institute 12oz 4pk: $7.99

		Samuel Smith's Imperial Stout 7% alc/vol 99 Percentile -Ratebeer.com 2005
		Commercial Description: Rich, flavorful, deep chocolate color, scented and roasted barley nose. Complexity of malt, hops, alcohol and yeast. 92 Points -Beer Advocate 2005 89 Points -Beverage Testing Institute 12oz 4pk: $8.78

		Samuel Adams Cream Stout 90 Points
		"Deep dark brown with a thick, creamy head. Subtle aromas of grain and roasted cocoa beans. A velvet texture showing soft roasted nut, and cappuccino. Perfectly balanced with just the a measured dose of sweetness. Exceptional." -Beverage Testing Institute 12 oz 6pk: $6.98

		Murphy's Irish Stout 4 1/4 Stars
		"Mmmmm- Murphy's Stout, in a can. yes, in a can. Sure, purists will grouse that if it's not on tap then it's not real Murphy's. Whatever. The contents of this pint can are poofed by one of those wonderful, magic widgets. Crack the can and FUFFFFFFFF! out comes a very creamy brew. Just feel the texture...And if you can resist, watch the cascading sheets (much like the Guinness sheeting action). A little roasty, a little sweet, and showing a coffee endnote, this is pleasant ale." -Alcoholreviews.com 16oz. 4pk: $7.18
