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.

Tasting fine at this age. Back when I got it I heard best at ~10 years, saving my last bottle for then.

Rich, smooth and sweet. Aging mellowed the booziness.

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.

Probably “aged” a bit longer than was optimal.

6 years later…a lot of the vanilla is gone but still there in the background. Stout is bold and big and I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention the massive abv. I think my lips are going numb. Could it possibly have gained extra in the bottle?

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

Vanilla, oak, cocoa, mild roast, sweetness, malty, smooth, rich, and decadent. Glad to share with Kathleen M. and Jenny B.

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