**Description:** The Stout Golem is a hulking figure crafted from enchanted barrels and infused with the essence of stout beer. Created by a desperate brewer seeking to control the overwhelming demand for his product, the golem serves as both guardian and enforcer. It moves with a lumbering gait, leaving a trail of frothy residue in its wake. In battle, it uses its bubbling aura to disorient foes while delivering powerful slams with its stout-infused limbs. The Stout Golem is relentless in its duty, viewing intruders as threats to the sanctity of its brewery.
