About Stout
Stout is a dark, rich beer that originated in England during the 18th century and is now enjoyed worldwide. It is characterized by its full-bodied texture, roasted malt flavor, and often a hint of chocolate or coffee. Stouts typically belong to the broader family of ales and are brewed with roasted barley or malted grains. From a nutritional standpoint, stout is relatively low in calories compared to other alcoholic beverages, with approximately 60 calories per 100ml. It is low in protein, carbs, and fat, and offers trace levels of minerals like calcium and iron, though it does not provide significant vitamins or fiber. While moderate consumption of stout may be integrated into certain lifestyles, it does contain alcohol, which should be consumed responsibly considering health impacts.
Health Benefits
- Moderate alcohol consumption may improve heart health by increasing HDL cholesterol according to some studies.
- Contains trace amounts of calcium (4mg per 100ml), contributing to bone health in negligible amounts.
- Provides iron (0.0286mg per 100ml), which supports oxygen transport in blood.
Dietary Considerations
Selection and Storage
Store stout in a cool, dark place at 10-12°C (50-55°F) for optimal flavor. Serve slightly cooler than room temperature for best aroma and taste.
