Oh this looks pretty good, but I live in Mexico i don’t know what stout is … can I subsittute this for other ingredient? Thanks

Stout is a strong, dark malt or barley brewed beer. I am sure you could use another dark beer. I would ask at your market for a comparable substitution. They would be the best ones to give advice on what’s locally available to you ๐
