Brewed by:
Dogfish Head Brewery

Delaware, United States

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

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

Pours a garnet color with a tight, walnut colored head that leaves little to no lacing.

Smells of dark fruits, anise, roasted notes, and some alcohol.

Tastes of rich roasted notes with plenty of sweetness and alcohol. Notes of cocoa, brown sugar, molasses, and licorice come through. Fruit notes follow with raisins, plums, and dark cherries. Come coffee notes with a little roasted bitterness add in as well, before it ends in a warming alcoholic note.

Mouthfeel is full with a creamy amount of carbonation.

Overall, this is a very good beer, but is quite intense and more expensive than I would like ($9.10/12 oz).

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.
