Blonde Stout?

There is this. Dubbed a "white stout"

It's pretty bad.

 

I've had Camo from 5 stones (local texas microbrewery) and it was pretty good. It tasted very much like a stout, but was a light blonde color..

Cascades Oblique White Stout is delicious (draft only). It is very weird drinking just because of the expectations but it tastes just like a coffee stout...

Nightshift had Snow which was a pale stout. It was decent. Not a stout at all, but interesting.

 

Another BA hipped me to this beer, which I think might be considered a blonde stout:

@miggs3030 might be able to shed some light on it.

 

White stouts kind of remind me of Clayton Bigsby. Someone should brew a white stout called Clayton Bigsby.

 

Depending on where you seek your definition. If you look at the BJCP guidelines, it mentions flavors and characteristics imparted by dark malt however at no point does it mention a requirement for ingredients. A Blonde Stout certainly would not meet the appearance requirements of the style, but then again neither does the Black IPA.

Call it creative license. I am not a purist in terms of strict adherence to style guideline, I prefer to view styles as descriptors used to describe the beer. If the flavors presented resembles that of a stout, I do not have a problem calling a beer a stout even if it is blonde in color. If you attach the prefix blonde to stout, I think that should provide you a reasonable expectation as to the experience to come.

 

Had it recently. Pretty good. Just the mouth feel isn't nearly viscous enough for me.
My friend had me taste it without looking and I said it is too thin.

 

Lmao! This is my all time favorite post.

 

so all the roast character/flavor comes from the coffee and cocoa nibs?

 

Not blonde, but this was marketed as a "White Russian Imperial Stout." It's fairly red-amber, completely transparent, and tastes nothing like either a stout or a White Russian in my opinion.

Wut?

 

Its not a stout, but Theobroma does taste like a spicy stout to me. Close my eyes and taste chocolate and chili

 

While not quite a blond stout, I recently had an espresso DIPA. It was a Mikkeller collaboration called sleep over. Just one of those beers who's flavor doesn't quite line up with what you expect from the appearance.

 

Sounds like someone I dated in high school...oh wait, that was a stout blonde!

:rimshot:
Sorry, that was bad

 

Had a golden stout at Stone Liberty Station few weeks ago, blew my mind. Looked nothing like what it smelled and tasted like.

 

Free Will brews a beer they call a Pale Stout. Personally never had it, but by the reviews it sounds like it's a light brown color.
