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.

Poured from a 12 oz bottle into a pint glass. 01/30/09.
Pours nearly pitch black with a finger of tan head. The head quickly dropped to a thin layer, not much retention. Aroma is strong with bitter dark chocolate and roasted coffee.
Taste is mostly dark chocolate and bitter roasted coffee. Some sweet milk chocolate as well. The chicory noticeable in the taste and adds an interesting flavor. The feel is slightly acidic (from the coffee) with a medium body. Not too heavy with a high amount of carbonation. Could stand to be a little smoother. Drinkability is pretty good. It's not too heavy, I could drink a few of these.
This is one of my favorite Dogfish beers. Not the most complex from them, but it is tasty. If you like stouts or coffee, give it a shot.

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
