Cruzan59 (197), Lititz, Pennsylvania, USA Apr 5, 2008 12oz single (dark green cap) from Bayville Package Store, Selbyville, DE...I’ve had this (and 120 IPA) sitting around since last summer, finally cracked it open!...pours black with a deep tan head...rich smell of malts and dark fruits...taste includes the same with an added combo of coffee-chocolate-molasses...little bit of alcohol in the aftertaste but very well hidden...nice treat. morrdt (608), Jacksonville, Florida, USA Apr 2, 2008 12 oz. bottle from Broudy’s Liquor and Beer Store at Jacksonville Beach, FL. Bottle Cap is Dark Green. Bottle neck is date stamped with Yellow markings "Bottled 10/10/2006". $8.95 for one bottle. Yeesh. Beer pours a deep dark brown with a luscious tan head. Upon inspection of the bottle, I notice a touch of sediment at the bottom of it. Swirl it around and add it to the fun. Aroma is a nice deep cocoa with some nice raisin notes. Taste is a nice, rich malt with a raisins and chocolate. Very light burn from the alcohol on the finish. This is an awesome beer. mgoy (343), Oak Brook, Illinois, USA Mar 31, 2008 Dogfish Head World Wide Stout 2007 is a fantastically complex ale. The color is pitch black with a very attractive caramel/mocha head. The aroma is very sweet with raisins and alcohol. The taste is like no other with malt, molasses, coffee, chocolate and a bit of alcohol present. This is a fantastic imperial stout that is perfect in almost everyway. The only chiticism I have is that the high alcohol level makes it hard for me to enjoy more than one at a time.

EricE (446), Fairfax, Virginia, USA Mar 29, 2008 Opaque black pour with a very thing tan head. Very nice aroma. Coffee and malt with some sweetness. Some lactic acid as well as a bit of fruit. Very creamy flavor with coffee and fruit. But way too sweet. Almost syruppy. Very complex, but ruined by the sweetness. Body was a little thin as well. jayhopkins23 (27), Chicago, Illinois, USA Mar 24, 2008 I stayed away from this beer for a long time...had a bottle from ’06 sitting in my fridge for over 2 years. Finally opened her up, served it in a wine glass at 45 degrees, and was surprised by the entire experience. Beautiful color, and tan had. The nose on this beer is very heavy and complex, everything from black licorice to iced coffee. First sip I expected strong alcohol notes, but was pleasantly surprised by sweet, sugary flavor that it took on. The body on this is thick and sweet all the way down. Very impressive beer that can hold up for a very long time of aging. Storm (2685), Amager, Denmark Mar 23, 2008 Wintage 2005. Dark brown colour - almost black, with absolutely no head at all. Nice sweet aroma of rom, syrup, mollases, roastedness, and dried fruit. Very sweet malty flavour with notes of sugar, roastedness, and some alcohol. I doubt it really holds that much alcohol ?! Gethinbeer (995), Nova Scotia, Canada Mar 21, 2008 Updated: Jan 3, 2009Thanks JoeMcPhee fro the bottle. Strong aroma of Liquorice, coffee and barley. Black in colour with a thin lace. Rich, wild berry flavour. Coffee and liquorice flavours come through. Smooth texture with a clean finish. Fruity notes in the finish. I enjoyed this more than last time. awaller05 (300), Sharon, Wisconsin, USA Mar 18, 2008 2005 bottle: When I poured this beer, the smell was unbecoming of a great beer. The pour was off used motor oil with little to no head. The first taste was a mixture of raisins, bread flavor and a chocolate finish with just a hint of the alcohol that it has in it. Word to the wise, this is a beer better sipped on in a course of an hour than drank like a frat boy looking for a quick buzz.
