2008 - Yellowish-green cap, date stamp
World Wide Stout is one of the world’s strongest dark beers. It is brewed using six different yeast strains over seven months and then aged for half a year. Dark, rich, roasty, and complex, World Wide Stout has more in common with a fine port than a can of cheap, mass-marketed beer (released in early winter with very limited availability).

VERY sweet, and I agree with the commercial description....much more like a port than a beer. Hints of espresso and molasses. An awesome beer, but my heart still belongs to the DFH 120 Min. IPA.

Taste of sweet chocolate, sweet carmel, sweey licorice, sharp molasses, slight rasins, dates, and alchol. Finish is vey sweet and warm, hops a are faint. Preey good beer, a little sweet for me.

Wowza! 2005 Vintage bottle (drank on its second birthday!!) So many flavors going on that I can begin to describe it. So stop being cheap and shell out that 8 bucks or whatever it is.

12 oz.Bottle shared by Miko 2006 Release - Pours a dark black syrup with nearly no head, single dot lacings around the glass. Smells of licorice, coffee, chocolate, caramel, and heavily of alcohol. Taste is heavy of alcohol, chocolate, licorice, lots of maltiness. He paid $15 for this bottle and it reminds me a lot of Bell’s Expedition Stout - but it’s not near as sweet as the Ex - and a little more balanced. Damn good.

This beer was the thickest beer I have ever had. almost like syrup. It leaves a thick brown resudue on the glass. Overall a good strong beer.

Rating #1000. Bottle sent to me by odeed a while back. Bottled on 10/29/05. Pours somewhat thick and very black with a quickly dissipating, effervescent tan head. Sweet roasted malt nose with a lot of plum notes and some coffee. Thick mouth feel. Roasty to the point of almost tasting smokey. Thick and sweet with molasses flavors and lots of alcohol. Dark fruits are everywhere; plums and raisins mostly and some licorice as it warms. The alcohol and sugars linger a bit at the end.

pours a dark black, with a thin tan head. Aroma of maple syrup, coffee, chocolate, and alcohol. Flavor of chocolate, coffee, and a nice alcohol burn at the end. Outstanding beer, but certainly not a beer ide wanna drink everyday.
