Dogfish Head Craft Brewery's World Wide Stout - Beer Review

Found:  Bottles
Brewery: Dogfish Head Craft Brewery
Beer Style:  Stout
ABV:  15%
Price:   $8.99 for 12 oz

Let's start this with what Dogfish has to say about this beer.

"YES! This is the beer you've heard so much about. Dark, rich, roasty and complex, World Wide Stout has more in common with a fine port than a can of cheap, mass-marketed beer. Brewed with a ridiculous amount of barley. Have one with (or as!) dessert tonight!"

Pour gave 1/2 finger of dark tan head that had some real staying power.  This brew poured like black oil into the glass, and was black as night and blocked all light from passing through the glass.  Imagine looking at a solar eclipse with those mirrored viewers... it was like that... Awe Inspiring!  The aroma was deep an rich, with  some coffee and chocolate.  You can definitely smell the alcohol, but that's a good thing in this case. Very flavorful, like sweet, syruppy, coffee mollasses.  Syruppy mouth-feel with a huge body, and  little fizz on the tongue yelling "I'm here, love me!"  If the price bother's you, don't let it... one bottle replaces an entire six pack, and I'm a big guy.  CW couldn't take more than a few sips, and was light-headed (buzzed) from the first one.
