Oak-Aged Vanilla World Wide Stout

Stout - Imperial / Double

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.

This imperial is almost perfection. And it’s probably 3-4 years old!

Even after all these years, I still get the vanilla. Smooth and boozy. Freaking great.

Bottled in 2017 and tastes like it went a little sour but incredibly boozy

Another one from the cellar (aged at least 3 years). Really mellow and complex. Tons of oak and vanilla. Not even a hint of booze, which makes it that much more dangerous. Almost wish I’d waited another year to see how much better it would’ve been.

Got a real mellow, smooth booziness. Vanilla forward and a woody, nutty finish.

A big and boozy girl for sure. It’s very good, though I expected more from this 2017 bottle.

Holy shit, boozy. This tastes so much like bourbon. Not getting a ton of vanilla. Just lots of booze burn.

Only can be taken a sip at a time, vanilla and chocolate-y flavors come through with am obvious alcohol presence. Gets extra points for ability to get beer flavors to work at such a high ABV and overall uniqueness because of that. A *very* strong drink.

DogFish released some of these bad boys back on the market - It was bottled on 07/27/17, they day I interview to move out to Fort Collins. It’s holding up well, must be drank at 58-62 degrees, the oak and vanilla really come out at that temp; cheers 🍻

Ah, this has aged nicely! Dark mahogany with a hint of ruby when back-lit. Wafting hints of vanilla and oak on the nose. Rich chocolate and roasty front with a smidge of tannins in the middle and finish. 2017 was a year where I needed this lovely beer!

Over two years old, so the vanilla is nowhere near what it was, as expected. On top of that, the base beer is also losing its initial edge, which is a good thing. Wonder if at 4 or 5 years, you'd be able to tell the difference between this and normal WWS.
