This is easily one of the most beastly beers I've ever had. World Wide stout is One in a million and it deserved our attention as the first pinnacle beer of the first Review Night. Let's move onto the review.
It's black as hell. Guinness you could at least see some tint and color when you held it up to a light. This is a black hole in a glass. It's crazy. It also developed a very frothy off-white head but it collapsed pretty quickly. What can you expect with a beer this heavy? Smell? It smells like alcohol. Jesus H. Christ, it's 18% alcohol. Beer isn't supposed to be that strong...but it's amazing. The bouquet of aromas almost reminds me of a heavy red wine. The attention to detail here is extraordinary. It tastes just like it smells: alcohol. It also has a pretty licorice taste to it and seems like it has berries in it as well. Also to note, the bitter and chocolate-y taste at the very beginning is reminiscent of dark chocolate. The texture is interesting because it is very smooth for something that is so heavy. It goes in smooth with the froth from the head, it smooths out in the middle to present all the body of the beer and then it goes down easily with a last little bite of alcohol and the overall mesh of flavors.
Overall, this stuff reminds me of chocolate wine. I love chocolate and I love wine. Win.
