Notes / Commercial Description:
Brewed with a ridiculous amount of barley, World Wide Stout is dark, rich, roasty and complex. This Ageable Ale clocks in at 15-20% ABV and has a depth more in line with a fine port than with a can of cheap, mass-marketed beer.

Very nice beer. Honestly would have never known it was around 18% nice chocolate flavor. Smooth feel for being a high abv beer. I was surprised the beer even made a head. Definitely my favorite DFH beer.

Pours a near black color with cola brown at the edges. The khaiki head is tight and creamy but a little short, settles into a chunk ring.
The aroma is earthy , strong notes of wet wood. Carob with hints of dark fruit. Big raisin scent.
The taste is of a thick roasted barley, surprisingly not bitter. Noticeable metallic flavors, some smooth caramel and vanilla. A generic dark fruit sourness.
The feel is thick, some prickly carbonation yet creamy. Sweet, lightly bitter, and a touch of heat.
Really amazed how they kept the bitter in check as there is tons of roasted barley. Great example of a thick ass stout.

Appearance - Pours black with thin tight mocha colored head. Not much lacing.
Aroma - Nice sweet vanilla and caramel aromas, milk chocolate roasted malts and hints of spices.
Taste - Very big chocolate boozy flavor. lots of roasted malts and light vanilla and caramel flavors as well.
Feel - Full bodied creamy slightly higher carbonation than I would have expected. No way this thing is 18%. Just a touch of heat.
Overall - A really great beer, wonderful aroma and excellent flavor. Just a little heat no sign of the alcohol.

Rich black with big head and heavy lacing. Smell is coffee and dark fruit. Flavor is coffee with dark fruit. Dry and slightly bitter. This one is 18% abv, so you can taste and feel the alcohol warmth like drinking brandy. Not a huge fan of the dark fruit flavors, but still a solid beer that'll get ya buzzed

A heavy coffee black with a brownish-red colored head. Lots of soapy muck on top and plenty of lace to go around.
Aroma is purely roasted barley. Some metal, sweet chocolate, and toasted bread notes.
Flavor is way more impactful and tasty than the nose gives off. I anticipated a thin, metallic stout but what I'm getting here is loads of anise, chocolate, plum, cherry, hazelnut, black licorice, tannin, and loads of booze. The burning booze is overshadowed by the plentiful flavors here so that's not a problem. I did not realize this was 18%. Wow.
Feel is slick to start, with a thickness that comes riding in on top of a hot, burning booziness. Dry alcohol finish.
World Wide Stout is an incredibly tasty beer with plenty of punch. I should not have imbibed this on an empty stomach, but I'm going to prepare myself for what's ahead here.
