Dogfish Head World Wide Stout 2001/2003-Present (18%)

Bottle. [thank you, Yespr]
Pours absolutely pitch-black with a small creamy beige head. Aroma is vinious, sweet, lightly roasted and quite smoky. Very oily mouthfeel. Lightly smoky in the beginning, very sweet and sticky, fruity viniousness. Far too sweet and unbalanced for me.

Bottle. Totally pitch black colour. Alco smokish roasty dark fruit aroma with chocolate and coffee. Sticky well filling mouthfeel. The flavour is quite sweet with plenty of roasted malt, smoke, a quite vinous dark fruitiness, coffee and chocolate. Hides the alcohol well. Gracias al señor yespr.

[Courtesy of yespr, session @ yespr] Black with tiny brown head. Slightly smoked and sweet aroma with roasted malt, chocolate and coffee. Flavor is very sweet with vinous, overripe fruit, roasted malt, chocolate, coffee and smoky notes. Alcohol is very well hidden.

Sweet aroma of dark raisins, some chocolate and grain. very sweet, cloying. Did not notice the high ABV, of course the same can be said of coffee brandy.

Bottle. [Courtesy of yespr, another great session @ yespr] Here we go, I have been looking forward to this one. This is the last of the three WWS. Large beige creamy head that lasted. Pitch black colour with excellent lacework. The initial sniff comes heavy berries, sweet chocolate, coffee, oat, grain, vinous. And strangely enough I pick up smoke notes, which I did not pick up in the other to. Over the palate warming alcoholic and malty sweet with roasted malt and dried fruit. Very full bodied with a soft carbonation and thick oily and alcoholic texture. Heavy sweet with light bitter flavour. Lingering dried fruit and liquorish finish.

2006. 12 oz bottle. Aroma is sweet and sugary, with a whiff of expensive chocolate and notes of pristine caramel, if such a thing exists. Pitch dark, little head; what you’d expect to see in your glass when you’re pouring such a massive stout. Flavor has some apples, roasted nuts and coffee, some trace elements of chocolate...delightful. Oily on the mouth, the ABV is hidden well, sharp bite at the end. Very enjoyable.

Thick and black with a small head. Aroma of white chocolate, coffee liquor, not overly complex and surprisingly not very alcoholic. Heavy, sweet, alcoholic body, pretty flat and cumbersome to drink really. Flavours of charred wood, chocolate, some softening stonefruits and tobacco. Worty, sweet as hell finish with a touch of alcohol. Interesting to try in a one dimensional, in your face stout on steriods kind of way, but I found it pretty hard to drink.

I finally tried this and was very impressed with how good it was and not overwhelming with the alcohol,usually this strong of beer is to sweet but it was very good and enjoyable and smooth.CHEERS!
