Ales like IPAs, ambers, and browns do better if served slightly warmer, at 45° – 55°. Ales have a lot of fruity flavors that become muted at colder temperatures. Strong, dark beers are best at room temperature or only slightly chilled. This applies to stouts, barleywines, many cask-conditioned ales, and double bocks.
Do you drink stout warm or cold?
Amber ales taste sweet and toasty, and should be served at 50 degrees to bring out their nutty flavor. Stouts, which toy with the barley to enhance coffee-like or chocolate profiles, are ideal at 55 degrees, Ms. Roarty adds. Specialty beers like sours and lambics are best enjoyed at 55 degrees.
How do you serve Stout?
Stouts are served warmer than lagers and light ales: 50°F to 55°F, wine cellaring temperature, is ideal. (In general, a good rule of thumb is the darker the beer, the warmer the serving temperature.)
