There is no difference, because stout is a style and ale is a term denoting a beer brewed with top-fermenting yeast.

I drank HopSlam on-tap from three different bars earlier in the week, and it was just average. Pissed me off. This year's HopSlam doesn't taste anything like the HopSlam I've enjoyed over the past six years. It was missing the tropical fruit notes, instead favoring a straightforward grapefruit pith flavor. They must have changed the hop bill pretty significantly. Either that or the Tuscaloosa distributor for Bell's really screwed something up with storing the beer.
