Irish Stout is black and opaque in color. Dry, roasty, coffeelike malt character, caramel, and sweet malt flavors may also be present/medium to high bitterness, but little or no hop flavor & aroma. Medium-bodied; little if any ale fruitiness; some interpretations (called foreign-style) are stronger and more full-bodied with more malt sweetness. 3.8-5%/vol. (up to 7.5% for foreign-style)
