Most of the books in the series are written by professional brewers or homebrewers with extensive experience and are geared to homebrewers and perhaps craft brewers. Dr. Lewis has taught at the University of California, Davis – the country’s leading brewing program. Like other books in the series, it covers the history of the beer, its flavor profile and how to brew the beer. This book is considerably more granular than most books in the series, spends more time discussing the commercial brewing of stout. His discussion on taste is fascinating but probably far more statistical and detailed than most homebrewers can endure. He also includes a survey of commercial stout brewers which data heads such as me will salivate over but which most homebrewers will avoid. The book contains 16 actual pages on brewing stout at home and includes 6 recipes expressed in kilograms, grams and liters. Those unfamiliar with metric will find these a pain. This book more directly focuses on the professional brewer and I do not think it fits well with this series. It is an excellent book directed towards the wrong audience. It was also published in 1998 and is a little out of date. ### ⭐⭐ not the best. *by M***L on Reviewed in the United States on May 8, 2004* I found this book on stout to not be as good as the chapter on stout in designing great beers. This is probably the worst in the series. If you are getting all the books in the series you may as well get this one otherwise save yourself some time and just get designing great beers. My biggest complaints.a. Completly dismissive of the Oatmeal Stout style saying it's just a sweet stout plus marketing.b. Treats imperial stout as just a stronger version of standard stout.c. Doesn't ever define stout.d. no recipies for milk stout or oatmeal stout(see a).e. Refuses to accept porter as a different style.f. Lot's of downright incorrect information. ### ⭐⭐⭐ I would recommend "Designing Great Beers" by Ray Daniels *by F***H on Reviewed in the United States on August 17, 2014* I'm still working on reading this book, but the authors' writing style isn't clicking with me. I'm a home brewer and it wasn't what I expected it to be. He mostly discusses commercial brewing and has one chapter set aside for home brewers, written by someone else. In a nutshell (and remember, I'm not finished with it, but I've scanned through most of it) the author indicates there is no set formula for stout, and that the line between porters and stout is fuzzy...stout apparently having a higher originating gravity. Instead, I would recommend "Designing Great Beers" by Ray Daniels. However, this one will fill a niche in my library. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/130422183-stout-classic-beer-style-book-10](https://www.desertcart.us/products/130422183-stout-classic-beer-style-book-10) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-07-21*
