What serving size do you think is "normal" for a 14.7% Stout?

One ppur.



If you follow "the man's " rules maybe 5 standard drinks? or some crap. I'd say 3oz since that's what is served at FW for their BBA beers

Maybe the FUPA Gods can answer this

 

Five ounces. Always five ounces. For everything.

 

A normal serving size for all beers should be 12oz.

 

To answer your question: Three

 

To me, it depends on how long you want to enjoy the beer time-wise. I usually drink a full bottle of these BCBS beers over a 4-5 hour sipping session. Plus I always have a full meal in my belly to soak up the alcohol. So factor in the outside factors (time and food) to get to your answer.

 

Firestone Walker
Bourbon-Barrel Aged

To answer the OP - I will solo drink a bottle like that, just over the course of a few hours. Or split it with a friend if the occasion occurs.

If I were at a beer bar and it was on draft, I would expect it to be served in a 10 oz glass.

 

Fudge waffles, bacon backed apples, and pints. Shaker pints.

 

One serving. I’d pop that bottle open and not look back. Drink it over a 1-2 hour period to allow warming and then review it.

 

According to Google's AI, Gemini:

Therefore, a 16.9 oz beer that's 14.7% alcohol contains approximately 4.1 standard drinks.

Meaning, about 4 oz per drink.

 

3oz

end of story



Workout as well if you drink a lot of these or you'll end up a fat old man ( 80% of BBA beer festivals) They look like a god damned Grateful Dead concert these days

 

8oz , let it warm and enjoy.

 

I’m tempted to say 8 ounces, but I’ve come to realize that serving equivalent is like 24 ounces of a nearly 5% ABV beer. 8 ounces would be very generous.

At Goose Island itself, you can expect a 6 ounce pour of Bourbon County Stout. Let’s run with a serving closer to that. Grab three glasses and divine the bottle.

 

12 oz's

 

Drink the whole bottle in one sitting. Yes, it's a sipper, so take it easy if you've never had a brew of this abv. before. This is not a fuckn' drinkn' contest. I guess, 2-3 hours would be a very nice time if you want to time it. It's all about you, and how you handle the shit. Enjoy!

Cheers!

 

everyone's missing the point of OPs question.

No way in hell an average serving size is the entire bottle of Budweiser Crappy Brand Stout .

3-4 oz is the final answer FOR AN AVERAGE SERVING SIZE

 

Balderdash…pour 1/2 the bottle in your snifter, drink it, pour the other 1/2 and drink it…just like I just did

 

"average" in the sense of how most bars would serve a beer like this? 5-10 oz

One standard drink by the metrics of most national health agencies would be around 4-5 oz

 

For me, zero. I'd prefer to drink one moderate alcohol (5 to 6%) beer than a few sips of a high alcohol beer any time -- maybe even as much as a 16 ouncer or half liter.
