August 5, 2005 - #27 of 365

Brewer: Dogfish Head Brewery (Delaware, USA)
Beer: Chicory Stout
Style: Stout
abv: 5.2%

Background: Bottle from Vintage Wines in Harrisonburg. This stuff is spiced with chicory in the (sometimes) grand tradition of Dogfish Head.

Appearance: Pours black with a small tan head.

Aroma: Mostly roasted malts--coffee and a little chocolate. Something strange in the background; I guess it's the chicory.

Flavor: Basic stout flavor with the unappealing sourness of a Guinness and that weird crap that might be the chicory.

Notes: Watery and bad.

Rating: 2.7 out of 5
