American Stout

This American beer is inspired by both the English Stout and the Irish Stout, but adds American hops and (often) American creativity.

The Stout style ranges in color from a dark brown to a pitch black, and can best be thought of as a stronger version of a Porter (in 19th century England, "stout" simply meant strong - it was possible to have pale as well as brown stouts). With roasted chocolate malts and roasted barley, the stout generally starts off with roasted coffee and dark chocolate notes, that lead into American hop flavors - often piney or light citrus. Bitterness from the dark roasted malt and hops varies over a wide range, but most are generally well balanced. Specialty Stouts are common, with added spices, fruits, chocolate or coffee, and some aged in whiskey or oak barrels.

A Stout is best served cool, at 46-54 degrees, and in a pint glass, a tumbler, or a beer mug.

Stout brewed with Peruvian Cocoa. Like Barry White's voice in a bottle, Bison's Chocolate Stout is a dark, slow-pouring aphrodisiac of the smoothest proportions. Rich and roasty with charismatic flavors of dark chocolate and espresso, and creamy, dry finish.Description provided by company)
