Oak-Aged Vanilla World Wide Stout (2017)

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.

Drinking at room temp. Didn’t notice it was 16% before I cracked it. It has aged well in my opinion. A little hot, but nice subtle vanilla and oak. Thx. RS #haul

Hard to see, bottled 7/26/17. Almost 7 years old. Still going strong, aging nicely.

Sweet as opposed to malty. Aged well. Very complex flavors without coffee!

Cellared this one for the past seven years. Having my first born was definitely the occasion to bring it out and open. Just like my son, it was well worth the wait.

Excellent in 2017, and even better with 7 years of additional aging in 2024!

Two LAX games in PA today with the youngest. Stopped in the local beer store and found 12- 4 packs of 2017 sitting on the shelf! Like a pot of gold at the end of a 🌈.

The acerbic bite of WWS has only been reduced but so much by 7 years of aging. Vanilla is a nice smooth agent to some extent. Big slow sipper.

Delicious! Lots of dark brown sugar. Notes of figs, dates, and vanilla. It feels like a pastry stout but isn’t cloying. Aged well!

The vanilla has faded with age but the boozy-ness has not

So big, so smooth, aged extremely well - vanilla was prominent and provided great lip feel, barrel aging hung in there

Bottle pour, vanilla sweet is a bit pronounced, but roasty barrel flavor is not far behind

Operation Clear the Cellar I think the aging on this bottle might have made it better. The barrel notes held up, as did the vanilla. It was less sweet (in a good way) than I remember having it fresh.
