What is Stout Beer?

Where did the stout come from?

Stout was first known in London, England in 1721 and this beer is brewed from roasted barley to create its dark color. In the beginning, stout was brewed with a high alcohol content up to 7-8% and was still very well received by people, stout was considered the most popular beer at that time, besides the ale.

What gives stout its dark color?

Craft beers are all about the hops, while malts play a secondary role. For stout beer, it's the opposite. Malt is the main ingredient to give the stout its delicious taste and dark color. 

The sprouted barley releases sugars and stores them as starch, then the fermentation process converts the sugar into alcohol. Kilning stops barley from fully sprouting, then different malts are made depending on how hot and ways of kilning.

Malts like Munich, Vienna, chocolate, brown, or black malts are used to make dark beers with a roasty flavor, coffee flavor, or caramel. Therefore, depending on the brewer's purposes, these malts will be combined with the other malts to create different stout flavors.

For Rooster Nitro Stout, it's rich, creamy, and smooth, without the heaviness of most stouts. This highly drinkable Nitro Stout has bold flavors of coffee, toffee and chocolate, balanced with a rich sweetness.

And you know what...Rooster Dak Lak Nitro Stout won the Silver medal in the Asia Beer Championship 2022 held in Thailand.
