Stout beers are a popular beverage in bars, restaurants and home kitchens around the world. 

A stout is defined as "a very dark, toasty, bitter, creamy ale," according to the Beer Judge Certification Program. 

It is not typically thought to be ideal for new beer drinkers, due to its often bitter taste.

Stout beer is usually very dark, making it easy to distinguish from other popular kinds of the alcoholic beverage. 

In a very broad sense, there are two main types of beer: Ales and lagers.

Beer features the same main ingredients of malt, hops, yeast and water. 

One of the biggest differences between these two main types is the yeast that is used in the fermentation process. 

Ale yeast ferments at warmer temperatures, which causes it to ferment faster. Lager yeast ferments at colder temperatures, causing a slower fermentation process. 

Stouts, like Guinness, are an example of an ale, while Coors, Budweiser, Heineken and Miller Lite are all lagers.
