stout (plural stouts) 1  A dark and strong malt brew made with toasted grain. 2  An obese person. 3  A large clothing size.
Stout still meant only strong and it could be related to any kind of beer, as long as it was strong: in the UK it was possible to find stout pale ale, for example. Later, stout was eventually to be associated only with porter, becoming a synonym of dark beer. Because of the huge popularity of porters, brewers made them in a variety of strengths. The beers with higher gravities were called Stout Porters.
