Stout and porter are quite different. Stout is just that, stout. A thick, heavy, malty beer, often with a lot of smoke. Porter, despite being similar in appearance, is actually much lighter on the palate, less smoke and malt. Brown ale is another example that looks similar to a stout but is much lighter in taste and feel.
