Stouts and Porter Styles

Hops that complement dark malt in porters and stouts. Choose clean, firm bittering hops so roast and chocolate stay in front, or earthy/herbal aroma hops for a more traditional English dark-ale profile.

Common choices include Magnum, Warrior, Columbus, Chinook, Nugget, Galena, and Apollo for bittering, with UK Fuggle, UK Kent Goldings, Willamette, Crystal, and Northern Brewer for flavor and aroma balance.
