dry stout

Bitter black beer

A dry stout is a dark beer with a roasted, coffee-like bitterness and relatively low sweetness.

The style is most associated with Irish brewing, particularly Guinness: I'll have a pint of dry stout.

The "dry" distinguishes it from sweeter milk stouts or oatmeal stouts, referring to the crisp, unsweetened finish rather than low alcohol content.
