No head, aroma of port/sherry/cognac, vanilla/maple taste, had no carbonation..couldn't pick out the hops but it was well-balanced given the high alcohol. I absolutely loved it.<BR/><BR/>I hit the Dogfish booth often every day (I was there fri/sat). The Randall 120-minute IPA was exploding with carbonated Centennial goodness. This was the first time I had tried their World Wide Stout, it is very complex...I need to spend some time with it away from other beers to fully take it in. I don't think I've had a stout this high in alcohol that retains the same carbonation & head that they get. I'm also curious as to what malt mix they use on this one.<BR/><BR/>I also tried all the other Dogfish novelty stuff except Panagea: Red & White (Pinot Noir in it comes out strong to me), Midas Touch (barely got the Saffron), Burton Baton (won't say much other than I loved it).Marynkabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14454294785210142437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32412760.post-32569796957862636482008-10-16T23:48:00.000-04:002008-10-16T23:48:00.000-04:00Did you get any of the Utopias or the Dogfish, Joe...Did you get any of the Utopias or the Dogfish, Joe?

I much more enjoyed the AHA session, much more my speed. Very peaceful for 46k beer drinkers though, outside of the occasional glass-slapping idiot around. <BR/><BR/>You know, next time I might go with more of a style strategy, I love a lupulin overdose but I hit it a bit too early in the night every night!Marynkabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14454294785210142437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32412760.post-23811703021135042962008-10-14T09:08:00.000-04:002008-10-14T09:08:00.000-04:00while we certainly noticed that there was a utopia...while we certainly noticed that there was a utopias pouring going on, we weren't about to try to navigate that "line" with a wheelchair. Dogfish's lines were also pretty much unnavigable with the wheelchair, though we met one of the dogfish brewers and he told us that we were welcome to come around the side of the booth for a jump the line pouring.<BR/><BR/>maybe next time.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12047590428827738771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32412760.post-54059315488094684302008-10-13T18:16:00.000-04:002008-10-13T18:16:00.000-04:00Did you catch any of the sly Utopias pourings, or ...Did you catch any of the sly Utopias pourings, or Dogfish's 120-minute Randall-fed pours?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
