Chocolaty aroma with a unique roastiness that must be the chicory. (Yeah, I looked it up again, too.) Very much a chicory flavor start. Woody with bitter coffee and some roasted and ashy smoked malt. This beer has a dry aggressive flavor I find most unkind and rough on the palate. There are nice chocolaty flavors in the background, but the main focus is that harshness and a flat, old-coffee flavor that comes and never leaves. Pretty thin body. The 5.2% alcohol wasn't really very noticeable; the finish was a little dry, no more. Not horrible but I am not a fan. Can't wait for Aprihop and Festina Peche though.

I imagine if you're not a fan of chicory coffee, you probably wouldn't like this beer either. I tried a little at a tasting once but I've never had a whole one. I'm always disappointed when a beer has a really full flavor with a thin body. If it's going to be agressive, it should have the consistency of sludge, in my opinion. (This is why you never see skinny opera singers.)
Can't say I've had Chicory anything before, except for different years of this beer. How about since Dogfish doesn't do Indiana anymore, I send you a bottle of this and a few others as a baby gift. No freakin' diaper bag or onesies from me. LOL
I can't say no to that!
