Just a very basic general kind of question regarding caffeine and beer. I am extremely sensitive to caffeine and try to avoid it at most costs. How can I safely avoid in-taking it through beer in general? Do stouts and darker ales that descriptions read "roasted coffee taste", "light roasted coffee flavor" or "roasted" mean that the beer could contain caffeine? I am aware that caffeine is presented through guarana and coffee beans but dont know the extent of it making its way into an ale. I absolutely love stouts, porters and such but have always been weary of drinking more than one at a sitting for the simple fact of fear of consuming caffeine. If I buy beer kits from NB or AustinHomebrew that contain roasted malts of any kind could I potentially be presenting caffeine to a brew? Thanks!
