Chicory was one of the first beers we started brewing at our pub back when it opened in 1995. It's a dark beer made with a bunch of roasted chicory, organic Mexican coffee, St. John's Wort and licorice root. We use whole-leaf Cascade and Fuggle hops, as well as pale, roasted and oatmeal grains.

Appearance
Dark, almost black in appearance, small mocha head. Decent amount of lacing and head retention
Smell
It is sweet with hints of coffee and roasted malts
Taste
Medium mouth feel, sugary sweet almost sticky. Coffee and roasted malt are present on the palate along with fruit. Good combination and good flavors and balance
Overall
This is a very good beer, I thoroughly enjoyed this offering. Not to heavy, easy drinking and a lot of well-balanced flavor.

The appearance was always a ruddy orange to brown color with a decent one finger white foamy head that dies within about a minute and left some nice foamy sticky lacing. The way it clings and how it seemed like an eternity before it actually started to even want to start to slide was beyond me - if anything I love the stubbornness of the lacing to stay where it is. The aroma - wow what didn’t thing have in it. There was a nice okay licorice showcasing a nice roasty coffee - like smell that seemed to be increasing in strength as it warms. The taste took all that I previously mentioned and smoothed things out eloquently with a nice touch of vanilla. On the palate, this one sits about a medium to heavy on the body when it’s fresh. I’ve noticed with some age with this, it does end up thinning out a bit. Overall, what an absolutely awesome American Stout
