20 - Dogfish Head Chicory Stout

Chicory AKA curly endive AKA cornflower AKA those little blue flowers are the basis of this Dogfish Head creation. Dogfish Head AKA DFH seems to be the Frankenstein of beermakers with strange creations (Note that I am noting Frankenstein and the maker and not the monster which is AKA Frankenstein's Monster).

While I'll believe them that cornflower is present and accounted for, the real mover and shaker in this brewsky AKA beer is the Mexican coffee that they slide into the description in lighter text. I do not doubt this clever marketing coup will lead most beer drinking slobs AKA consumers to mistakenly believe chicory is spicy and assume that chicory should be AKA chipotle. But we may never know what Chicory tastes like. But the bottom line is that this beer is exactly as advertised "smooth, dark, rich," and has the slight coffee kick that makes it an interesting and complex flavored stout without any of the lazy syrupy sludge that is usually AKA stout.

I give this 3.3 out of a possible 4 potentially tasty chicory pedals. (P.S. This beer is dedicated to Senor Douchebag AKA I am not the president and guess what butthead neither are you.)
