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.

Wow. This has been in the Blackthorn cellar for a while! Holy smokes it is good - maybe just a hair too sweet.

Yowza, at this point the heat is front and center followed by the vanilla.

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.

Great way to celebrate stout day. Sadly it's fading in its age.

In this 2017, I notice the vanilla has been overtaken the last 6 years by the bourbon. The bourbon has become very forward and is present throughout. The coffee notes arrive mid through and linger on the finish along with the bourbon. Very boozy.

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

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 🌈.

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

Like a liquified Riesen. Subtle oak, but not-so-subtle vanilla that dominates the nose and sweet chocolate finish.
