World Wide Stout - Dogfish Head Brewery

look: 4 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4 | feel: 5 | overall: 4.5

Had the opportunity to try this on draft. Arrived in a small snifter. About 1/2 inch of dark foam on top of a dark brown/black beer.

Smell is caramel, coffee, chocolate and molasses.

Taste is intense. Sweet toasty malt mixed with chocolate and caramel. Sweeter as it warms with less chocolate. Also more heat when warmer. This beer was fairly young so there was a noticeable alcohol finish. A couple years of aging calm it down nicely.

The mouthfeel is heavy with some carbonation. Almost creamy.

Overall this is a great beer. Flavors are complex and enjoyable.

Serving type: on-tap

4.31/5  rDev +3.9%
look: 4.25 | smell: 4 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4.25 | overall: 4.25

Poured from 12oz bottle into snifter glass.

A: Pitch black with very minimal head that left almost no lacing. This beer is dark enough in color that no light penetrates it.

S: Big roasted malts, fruits like raisin, date, fig mixed with chocolates. Partly reminded me of really nice dark bread. Alcohol is up front here also.

T: Roasted flavors dominate. Dark fruits, chocolates. Reminds me a bit of chocolate oatmeal. Alcohol is apparent but adds to the experience. Nice sipper. Lots of similarities to BCBS minus the bourbon flavors. A bourbon aged version of this would be an interesting compare.

M: Very thick and full bodied. Almost a bit syrupy. Very little carbonation but to be expected with the high ABV.

O: A very big stout. Lots of complexity to the flavors, and a texture that complements it. Not something I want to drink every day, but a really nice treat once in a while.
