Dogfish Head Chicory Stout

4/5

AROMA
7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20

12 ounce bottle. Pours dark brown with a 2 finger light tan head with very good retention that reduces to a lacing cap that leaves nice lacing. Aromas of roasted malts, light chocolate, coffee, and wood. Taste is of chocolate, roasted malts, coffee, and wood. There is actually a lot more flavor here than I expected from the nose. A fairly creamy mouthfeel. Medium carbonation and body. Very impressive taste-wise for a regular stout. I thoroughly enjoyed this one.

Definitely surprised me with the amount of flavor in such a "light" beer (seeing as I am so used to the higher gravity beers). Too bad it is only available in the winter.
