Top 10 Foreign Stouts Brewed in the Americas
The best foreign stouts have an initial malt sweetness and caramel flavor with a distinctive dry-roasted bitterness in the finish. Coffee-like roasted barley and roasted malt aromas are prominent. Some slight acidity is permissible and a medium- to full-bodied mouthfeel is appropriate. Bitterness may be high but the perception is often compromised by malt sweetness. Head retention is excellent. Alcohol by Volume: 5.70% – 9.50%. IBU: 30-60
