Tropical Stout
These are a fun twist on traditional stouts that incorporate juicy, fruity flavors. The base of a tropical stout is still a rich, dark stout with roasted coffee and chocolate notes. But brewers add extra dimensions by infusing these stouts with tropical fruits or extracts. Common additions include mango, pineapple, coconut, passionfruit, guava, and banana. The result is a brew that starts off roasty and creamy upfront, then finishes with a bright pop of fruitiness.

Oatmeal Stout
As the name suggests, oatmeal is used in the brewing process of these stouts, usually about 5-10% of the grain bill. The oatmeal softens the mouthfeel and provides a silky creaminess. Flavor-wise, you’ll get all those classic stout notes – robust coffee, bittersweet chocolate, roasted grains, and subtle hop bitterness to balance the malt. The oats lend additional layers like cocoa powder, vanilla, and a smooth, velvety finish.

Foreign Extra Stout
Let’s talk about big, bold Foreign Extra Stouts. As the name implies, these stouts were originally exported from the British Isles to tropical regions like Africa, the Caribbean, and Asia. The higher alcohol and hopping helped preserve them for the journey. Foreign Extra Stouts take the typical dry Irish stout recipe and amp it up. Expect all those roasted coffee and dark chocolate flavors turned up to 11! They range from 6-8% ABV so they pack quite a punch.
