Commercial Description:
Chicory Stout is a rich, dark beer made with a touch of roasted chicory, organic Mexican coffee, St. John's Wort, and licorice root. It is brewed with roast barley, crystal malt and oats and hopped just right with Glacier hops. We use fair trade Organic Mexican Coatepec beans roasted to our specifications by Notting Hill Coffee Roastery in Lewes, DE.

A dark red-brown beer with a huge brown head. The aroma contains notes of coffee and chocolate as well as hints of leather on a slightly sour background. The flavor is sweet with notes of coffee and roasted malt leading to a dry end that also contains notes of chocolate.

Muddy; slightly burgundian brown; chocolatey, fudgey, some nuts; a little bit chewy, like munching on chocolate malts.
