Kansas City-Style Spareribs with Barbecue Sauce

At Smokestack in Kansas City, spare-ribs, a particularly flavorful cut, are served with a sweet and spicy sauce.Todd Coleman

Rossini Burger

This over-the-top burger, adorned with truffles and foie gras and drenched in demi-glace, deserves a dry stout with a hefty, silky body but a crisp finish. See the recipe for Rossini Burger » Back to 10 Recipes to Pair with Stouts »André Baranowski

Chocolate Truffles

Almost any variation of stout works well with chocolate, but the espresso in these truffles will make a complex but light-bodied stout sing. Also, try a stout brewed with espresso or coffee for extra kick. See the recipe for Chocolate Truffles » Back to 10 Recipes to Pair with Stouts »Todd Coleman

Enhance the coffee flavors and the buttery brown sugar praline sauce with a dry, light-bodied version of the beer style. See the recipe for Meringues Topped with Coffee Ice Cream and Praline Sauce » Back to 10 Recipes to Pair with Stouts »Christopher Hirsheimer
