Dogfish Head World Wide Stout - Description on bottle says "A very dark beer brewed with a ridiculous amount of barely." and you can taste the barely in every sip for this a beer you almost have to chew on. This beer also clocks in at surprising 18% abv.
Appearance: Black with a slight brown tint
Aroma: malt, alcohol, lots of coffee/roasted malts, licorice
Taste: roasted roasted roasted with a surprising amount of alcohol, sweet almost vanilla and dark fruit (such as plum) aftertaste
Mouthfeel: rich n' think, alcohol tingly, slight numbing of tongue
Overall: When drinking this beer I can only think one word and that is Wonderful. Every sip earns a "yumm..." and some even earn a "sigh...". This beer is simply something to behold, its tastes light up your mouth with so many flavors that every sip is a different experience. The high alcohol content gives you a feeling of drinking scotch where each sip must be regulated because if you take a sip that is too large the alcohol content will take over a drown most of the other flavors. While this beer is not for the light hearted or for the cheap ($10 for a 12 ounce bottle) it is well worth going out of your way just to experience the complex and magnificent flavor!
