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.

2017. Vanilla, dark fruit, warming. I don't really get chocolate here, as some do.

Mellowed with age drastically. Probably best after 3 years of age but this was damn good.

What better way to celebrate International Stout Day than with a WORLD WIDE STOUT. Big and boozy. Dark fruit berry peat raisins tobacco. Some oak. Vanilla has mellowed out. Aged beautifully

Wow, better with age. Dark, slight roasty malt flavor, strong vanilla and marshmallow notes. Alcohol finish has mellowed over time, but still has a little bite to it.

Deep, earthy. Definitely get the oak and the booze. The vanilla is subtle but pulls it all together.

After 4 and a half years it's finally wonderful the vanilla has faded still boozy but in a good way. Now has a creamy rich bourbon and chocolate milkshake.

Not rating tonight’s bottle. Not sure if this tasted like dryer sheets bc the vanilla was funky or if it’s bc of follow the BCBS Barleywine. Will give benefit of the doubt on this one and not rate
