Rare and often rumored about in the darkest corners of the beer community, World Wide Stout is dark, rich, roasty and complex, and lingers somewhere beyond the limits of the average beer.
Brewed with a ridiculous amount of barley, we've now taken this Dogfish Head classic and aged it on oak with real vanilla beans! With a little tender love and care we foster this beer from smooth, sweet wort into the big, bad blackend stout it always longed to be. Its bold, port-like complexity goes great with (or as) dessert.
With its high ABV, this is an excellent candidtate for cellaring, so grab a few bottles to enjoy now and lay the others down for a few years.
Admin Note: This clock's in between 15% - 17.5% ABV

Bottle from Val-U. Pours a pitch black with a finger of tan head that dissipates fairly quickly. Big vanilla forward aromas with some molasses, roasted brown sugar and dark chocolate malt on the nose. Some booze as it warms. Full bodied and rich with a smooth texture. Quite sweet with the vanilla coming through strong alongside lots of toasted brown sugar, molasses and dark chocolate. Bitter chocolate on the finish with vanillla and some light booze. Hides the 17% + abv fairly well though. Much easier to drink than expected. Solid beer.
