Porter/Stout Beer Recipe Kits
Porters and Stouts are the dark beer styles that provide a wide range of versatility and drinkability. The dark color and complex flavor come from the subtle usage of a diverse variety of chocolate, caramel and roasted malts. Those malts form the dark color and flavor complexity these styles are loved for.
Check out our Brewing to Style: Imperial Stout video course for more about brewing Imperial Stouts at home. This class includes an interview with Ben Smith, head brewer at Surly Brewing Company, and two complete homebrew demonstrations (extract and all grain).
