👉 Stouts, also known as American Pale Aged (APA) or American Old Ale, is a type of beer that has been aged for at least six months. This process involves the use of hops and other ingredients to bring out the flavor and complexity in the beer. Stouts are typically lighter in color than IPAs, but they can be quite robust and flavorful. They are often served cold and have a dry, malty flavor with a slightly bitter aftertaste.
