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.

A - Pours a deep, nearly opaque brown that appears mahogany at the edges. A one finger, tan head that drops down at a moderate pace, leaving some spotty lacing behind. Nice retention.
S - Roast coffee and bitter chocolate aromas most notable. Slight smokiness as well as an earthy quality as well. A nice aroma, although a bit subdued.
T - Dark, roasty malts with a slightly sweet, chocolate character up front. Rich coffee flavors with more roasted quality(perhaps the chicory) come through next. Finishes with a touch of piney hop bitterness that lends a bit of dryness. The roasted coffee aromas linger into the finish.
M - Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Maybe a tad light bodied for a stout.
D - Overall, a tasty and quite drinkable offering from dogfish. While the body is a bit light, the body and ABV do lend a 'sessionable' quality to this stout. Not the most mind blowing stout I've ever tried, but I would purchase it again.

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
