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.

Had this six years ago. It's boozier now. Hint of dark berries. Still delicious at this age. More umami now that it's aged.

I think it was from 2017. Really wish they would put dates on these bottles.

Sitting for 6 years. Maybe a bit too long. Still notes of chocolate and some vanilla but thinner than expected.

Hanging onto a good bit of body. Not too boozy, a dry finish. Chocolate the whole way down. Drinks like a 6, but hits like a 16. Tread lightly. Definitely not falling off yet.

Perfect one to drink while at the ski lodge in western Maryland overlooking the mountain while it’s snowing out. Love the bourbon and vanilla flavoring. 16%ABV

Decent stout. Kind of firey going down. 16% is just unnecessary

This aged magnificently for a large production beer. Vanilla and bourbon on the nose are still prevalent. Thick, dark pour with a light brown head. Rich, smooth body with lots of caramel, burnt wood, and chocolate. Still boozy and very malty.

It's a little over the top boozy, not at all sticky.

The brewpub had a world wide stout float that I didn’t get to try but “we have world wide stout float at home”

Pretty fantastic. First time drinking a vanilla WWS, and it was all I’d hope for, vanilla just right, prominent but not overwhelming oak, not boozy at all. Not very sweet, as so many other aged stouts can be. Excellent.

I wasn’t expecting this after six years in the cellar to be this outstanding. Pleasantly surprised.
