Yes, this is the beer you've heard so much about!

Brewed with a ridiculous amount of barley, World Wide Stout is dark, 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.

World Wide debuted in the winter of 1999, and the staying power of this brew is undeniable. Like Fort and 120 Minute IPA, World Wide Stout only gets better with age (more on aging beers here). After some time in your beer cellar, the heat of the booze fades into the background and the port notes and roastiness take over.

World Wide goes great with (or as!) dessert. Share one with someone you love.

Admin Note: This entry is for standard World Wide Stout that clocks in at 15% - 20% abv.

12 oz bottle (from 2011) @ home. Pitch black color. Brownish head with short retention. Aroma's: sweet, molasses, brown sugar, fruit, raisins, alcohol. Retronasal it's sweet, syruppy, alcohol, some chocolate. Flavor is above moderate sweet, alcoholic, fruity. Sharp alcohol feel, warming. Medium bodied (expected fuller). Long finish. Good, but expected more. Should have had this earlier. It does get better after slow sipping though.

Poured from 12 fl oz bottle. Black with dissipating tan head. Roast malt with alcohol, mild chocolate and coffee, hint of soy and leather. Booziness doesn't show the full 18%, but it's still noticeable enough that it takes away from the flavour in a significant enough way to lower its rating.

Bottled on 11/16. Delicious massive stout, equal parts sweet and roasted and bitter and boozy, oil-thick and ridiculously drinkable for an 18% monster. Loads of bittersweet chocolate and mocha underlined by a formidable roasted barley backbone, mixing with a surprising Belgian fruitiness--figs, cherries, dates, etc.--and a underlying hop bitterness, piney and strong. Liquor warmth shows up on the fade, but not nearly as present as you'd expect. Big chocolate-java impy stout nose, and the pours pitch black and heavy as hell. Lovely, lovely stout.

Draught @ Top Hops. Inky black with small frothy off-white head, aroma of mocha, molasses, oak, and liquor, medium carbonation, sweetish woodsy mocha taste with alcohol undertones, smooth body, long mocha finish. Incredibly well covered alcohol content, so smooth and easy to drink.

Bottle. Black color with beige head. Aroma is chocolate, coffee, lots of molasses, sweet. Taste is sweet, boozy, raisins, chocolate. Very boozy, low carbonation. Nice, but as expected, very intense - balanced for this ABV, though.
