COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Chicory Stout is a rich, dark beer made with a touch of roasted chicory, organic Mexican coffee, St. John's Wort, and licorice root. It is brewed with roast barley, crystal malt and oats and hopped just right with Glacier hops. We use fair trade Organic Mexican Coatepec beans roasted to our specifications by Notting Hill Coffee Roastery in Lewes, DE.

UPDATED: JAN 5, 2008 The smell of coffee overwhelms all other aromas with this beer. The taste is exactly what I would want on winter day. Great beer from a great brewery.

Pours black with ruby edges with a sudsy tan head. Smells like chicory, chocolate, and coffee. Taste is milk chocolate, coffee, and some woody chicory. Medium-bodied with a smooth texture and fizzy mouth-carbonation, Dogfish Head Chicory Stout finishes with a bit of roasted coffee bitterness.

Hint of chocolate malt shake laced with a smooth silky sweetnes that is hard to pin. One is not enough and it quenches thirst quite well.

Wow. This is the first new beer I've tried in a while that really made me take notice. An outstanding coffee flavored stout.

Becoming my favorite brewery. My first thought was ’Guiness...with flavor!’. Dark brown and opaque, with a bone-white head, possessing a deliciously inviting chocolate and hops aroma. Exceptionally smooth and full-bodied while exuding a rich, malted chocolate and coffee flavor. Underlying everything are sweet undertones that magicially complement the hops, forming a perfectly balanced, brilliant beer.

I liked this a lot very comlex. A heavy beer but one with a great coffee flavor. I liked this a lot though I wish the Licorice and the chocalate were a little stronger. Very nice

probably the finest stout i’ve ever tasted. beautiful pour, w/a gorgeous, thick head that leaves quite a bit of lacing. dark brown, thick, the perfect balance of smokey and sweet. a lot of coffee going on. finishes w/a nice bitterness.

I had this at the DFH alehouse - deep choclate color with typical stout head thickness and brown color - very nutty flavor, with a malt feel and hint of coffee - finishes well with bitterness and a roasted oats aftertaste. also good in black and tan with DFH 90 IPA.

What a beer! Talk about full flavor. Good malt/hop balance, but the real news here is the coffee adjuncts. Its full of roasted chicory and Mexican coffee, and tastes every bit of it (I guess it helps to be a coffee lover). It even smells a little like iced coffee. Not the kind of thing to drink alot of, but a top-notch dessert beer (which seems to be Dogfish Head’s specialty).
