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).

A pitch black beer with a small dark brown disappearing head. The aroma is of rope, tar, alcohol, and raisins. The flavor is very sweet with strong notes of coffee and chocolate and hints of alcohol. It is very sweet - probably the 18% ABV, that does it. A wonderful beer.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Black and opaque with a light brown head. Extremely powerful nose with lots of raisins and alcohol. Loads of roasted alcohol, lots of sweetness - as if the syrup floats down the walls of my glass. Extremely complex, extremely full-bodied. Like sipping Heaven. But only in small quantities please... 170705

Black. I mean black hole black. Vodka nose, but after that you forget that it is ridiculously strong. Tons of malt. Roasty and pappery flavour. Increadibly balanced. Hats off!

12 fl oz bottle, trade with ygtbsm94. Pours black with a dense chocolate brown head. Alcohol and light roasted malt aroma. Sweet malty, solid roasted. Smoked into and before the finish. Wineous fruity note too. Clearly a complex brew. Quite sweet finish, with a mild smoke note.

Bottle 12fl.oz.
Clear dark black color with a small to average, fizzy, fair lacing, mostly lasting, off-white head. Aroma is heavy malty, roasted, caramel, chocolate, moderate to heavy dark beer, raisin, prune, plum, moderate bourboun - alcohol. Flavor is heavy sweet and bitter with a long duration. Body is medium to full, texture is syrupy, carbonation is flat, finish feel is moderate alcoholic. [20090517]

Bottled, vintage 2003, 18,8% Opaque black, with no head whatsoever. Soft and pretty sweet smell (chocolate/toffee mix). Very "dense" taste of licorace and also a bit of chocolate. Even though the big alcohol%, I didn’t find any alcohol taste in this one, so the taste of alcohol is well-hidden.

Bottle at KØ09. Alcoholic aroma, paint thinner. Almost black colour. The flavour is sweet and alcoholic with some raisin. Paint thinner aftertaste. Very sweet and very alcoholic.

Bottled. Dark brown coloured with a beige head. Aroma of dried fruits, chocolate and alcohol. The flavour is dominated by dried fruits with notes of liquorice and dark chocolate. Alcoholic finish.
