DFH WWS on draught. Yum.

Last night I went out with some buddies to our usual bar. On tap they had Monks flemish sour (if you live near Philly and haven't been to monks you need to go. Right now).

Anyways, besides that I saw A few other things I'd had, a bunch of IPAs but I'm not a huge hophead. Then there it was, the world wide stout.

It was served in an 8oz wine glass, which was strange but I quickly understood why. The aroma was divine, it made me wish I had a brandy snifter. No real head at all, even fresh from the keg. As such there was no lacing. It really was more like port wine than beer.

As for flavor, imagine the super sweetness of a good port mixed with the smoky caramel flavor of their chicory stout. Quite delicious.

I am going to have to see if I can get a few bottles somewhere.

What is everyone elses opinion?

I actually had the 2006 world wide stout on tap at monks back in november. It was definitely an interesting beer, chocolatey with some coffee and caramel notes. For me it was way too sweet and at 4 years old still really boozy and hot. The 8 ounce serving I got was way more than I needed. I was glad to have tried it, but I won't be seeking it out again anytime soon.

Hm, I don't k ow what year this was. There was some alcoholic notes but not much. Was there any sort of head if you remember?

I agree! I was not a fan at all way too sweet and it almost tasted like a whiskey to me. I have a bottle I'm saving for a few years to see if age helps.

I was in Monk's last night also.

Definitely one of the best bars anywhere. Tons of choices of great beer, nice atmosphere and good food. What more can you ask.

No Head at all. And from what i could tell there was little to no carbonation as well.
