Vital Statistics
From the brewer
Brewed with a ridiculous amount of barley, World Wide Stout is dark, 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.

This stuff will knock you on your @$$ at 18% ABV - but there's no taste of alcohol at all. Very heavy on the malts but even at 18% has the mouth feel of a lower alcohol beer. Hard to say why as it's not a Belgian, but reminded me most strongly of a Trappiste Rochefort - there's a sweetness reminiscent of candy sugar. Definitely worth a try, but hard to drink more than one due to the richness.
Super thick and malty & super-smooth. The depth and purity of flavor without resorting to barreling tricks is astounding. Scary to think how strong it is! Glad I had just a couple ounces.
Really good in a small dose. Very malty (obviously). I thought it would lend itself well to a coffee version.
Lightly viscous mouthfeel, raisin-esque finish. Really pleasant cereal body only slightly marred by a salty mid-tongue effect.
