Bread you can drink, dark enough to hide a shipwreck and twice as bold
means Sturdy and solidly built — whether describing a thick-bodied person, a brave and resolute spirit, or a strong dark beer.
from From Old French 'estout' meaning bold or proud, which traces back to a Germanic root (a cousin of the Dutch 'stout,' 'naughty,' and possibly related to Old English words for strength). It first meant 'valiant' and 'fierce'; the senses of 'thickset in body' and 'strong in flavour' grew later — the beer named 'stout' originally meant simply a strong, bold brew.
