Dogfish Head releases “Wake Up World Wide Stout” variant w/ organic maple syrup, oat milk, coffee

Dogfish Head Craft Brewery’s world-famous World Wide Stout is getting a rich and roasty breakfast-themed upgrade with regeneratively grown malts from Epiphany Malting, organic maple syrup from  New Leaf Tree Syrups, oat milk from Elmhurst and organic coffee beans from Rise Up Coffee  Roasters. The special edition of the sought after 15-17%ABV Russian Imperial Stout is lovingly dubbed Wake Up World Wide Stout and is hitting shelves from coast-to-coast* in 4pk/12oz bottles beginning in Mid-September.  

More from a press release:

Robust, sweet and warming, Wake Up World Wide Stout is a jet-black beer with deliciously  balanced notes of espresso, sweet maple, roasted cacao and smoked honey for an “out-of-this world” flavor profile. To complement its otherworldly taste, Wake Up World Wide Stout boasts  outer space-themed packaging with a 4pk bottle carrier that – spoiler alert – glows in the dark!  Black and neon yellow, the beer’s label and packaging artwork were designed to match its neon  yellow bottle cap, which indicates that it is part of Dogfish Head’s “Caution Cap” series. Dogfish  Head’s “Caution Cap” series features beers with an ABV of 10% or higher, meaning they are prime  candidates for placing in the cellar to age. 

“World Wide Stout has always been one of my favorites, but this new iteration holds a special  place in my heart,” said Sam Calagione, Dogfish Head Founder & Brewer. “Wake Up World  Wide Stout not only offers a unique and intense drinking experience being brewed and bottled  with coffee, but through its use of organic and regeneratively grown ingredients, it shines a light  on the importance of sustainable farming practices. The first stout we ever brewed at Dogfish  nearly three decades ago, Chicory Stout, was brewed with organic ingredients, and Wake  Up World Wide Stout allowed us to amplify that legacy; from thoughtfully selecting and  combining ingredients in ways that bring forward rich and intense flavors and aromas right down  to the off-centered packaging design, this release delivers globally and locally … the stout heard  round the world!”
