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.
There are different varieties of beer that are more favorable to those new to drinking beer or exploring stouts.
With roots in Ireland and England, stout beers have spread and increased in popularity all around the globe.
Beer mainly falls into one of two categories — ale or lager.

- Barrel-aged stouts are aged in oak barrels. These stouts often have warm flavors of vanilla and even a touch of caramel.

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.
