StoutStout like its name is a full bodied ale, and its colour (rich brown to almost black) implies, it is a hearty take. That is not to say tha all stouts are the same.

Imperial stouts are high-alcohol-content, extra-hopped ales, while other sweet stouts are less hopped and contain additions, such as oatmeal, that give the already full-bodied stout even more heft. Regardless the stout, most varieties contain roasted coffee and cholate notes, as many stouts incorporate speciality malts in their brews, or a combination of unmalted and malted, kilned grains. ... see all Stout beers

Most ales contain hops, which impart a bitter herbal flavour that helps to balance the sweetness of the malt and preserve the beer. Ale yeast works best in moderate temperatures between 15C and 25C. Ale starts maturing after a few days of fermenting and lasts around two weeks. The warm conditions needed tor ale yeast to ferment allow the yeast to create esters and other secondary flavour and aroma products, and the result is often a beer with slightly "fruity" compounds resembling apple, pear, pineapple, banana, plum, or prune, among others creating full body, soft and round effect.
