Does dark mean stout or does dark just mean darker.

Probably not a stout in itself. SOme people use it as a base as they make an PM stout. I would call Midwest, but it probably regular DME with coloring to make it dark.

I don't think they put coloring in it but they use some darker grains to give it the color. It probably varies by manufacturer. Here is the analysis for Briess Dark DME >>> http://www.briess.com/pdf/Extracts ...wder/PIS BREW CBW Traditional Dark Powder.pdf

Good link. I would still use specialty grains to brew a stout.

Definately, I would use light extract and get the rest from the grains.

If you call the vendor, they can tell you what the Lovibond or SRM rating is.

The darkness of a grain is usually gained by roasting or carmelization. Lovibond/SRM is a way of telling you how dark something is. The higher the number the darker it is.

Our own HomeBrewTalkWiki shows a scale for measuring the darkness of a beer.

You could use a LME like you indicated to brew a stout or other dark beer. Color alone does not determine style.
