The first known use of the word "stout" for beer is in a document dated 1677 in the Egerton Manuscripts, referring to its strength.[1] Porters were brewed to a variety of strengths, with the stronger beers called "stout porters". The history and development of stout and porter are thus intertwined.[2][3][4][5]
