Brewed by:
Dogfish Head Brewery

Delaware, United States

Style | ABV
American Double / Imperial Stout | 18.00% ABV

Availability: Rotating. bottle (1426), on-tap (104), nitro-tap (2), growler (2), cask (1).

Notes:
Brewed with a ridiculous amount of barley, World Wide Stout is dark, rich, roasty and complex. This Ageable Ale clocks in at 15-20% ABV and has a depth more in line with a fine port than with a can of cheap, mass-marketed beer.

4.47/5 rDev +7.7%
look: 4 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4.5

Cracked open my last bottle of this to taste with some friends.

A - Dark black with a tan head that dissipated quite quickly

S - Hints of chocolate and dark fruits.

T - Very malty with an alcohol kick throughout. The alcohol is hidden very well for a beer with this high a ABV. Flavors of chocolate and dark fruits similar to aroma.

M - Syrupy and a bit chewy, but lighter than a lot of other high ABV stouts I've had.

D - One of my favorite high alcohol beers. For as strong and thick as it is, it's amazingly drinkable. I could've easily put down the whole bottle by myself.

2007 Vintage...

A: Pours pitch black with only a bit of frothy dark ran head that fades quickly into a tiny ring along the edges of the glass.

S: The nose is huge with alcohol. Serious amounts for something this old. I also get hit in the face with raisins, caramel, and soy.

T: It starts off sweet and cloying with a big bit of malt, roast, and raisins. As it moves to the middle I get boozy heat, a touch of caramel and some soy sauce. The finish is more raisin and soy with booze and burnt vegetation.

M: Full bodied beer. It's sticky, cloying, and really hefty to start. Sweet malt, caramel and soy lead to an alcohol finish.

O: No thanks. I was hoping this would age well, but after six years it's still gross. I don't hate it, but I'm not going to drink more than a few sips of this beer. Brutal.
