So here is another stout I highly recommend for the colder months of the year that are now upon us...Dogfish Head Brewery's Chicory Stout. This is a great stout with plenty of roast chicory and coffee flavor. They use organic Mexican coffee for this delicious ale and a surprising, unexpected flavor - licorice root. My advice is to pour this bold stout into a British style tulip pint glass. Pour the beer at a 45 degree angle until you have just a little beer left in the bottle. Give the bottle a little swirl and pour it directly into the middle of the upright glass to create a nice bone white head. Before your first sip, inhale deeply and collect all of the strong aromas that this beer has to offer. It may even make your eyes water a bit.
I have enjoyed everything that I have tried from Dogfish Head. As I have mentioned before, their Punkin' Ale is my favorite pumpkin flavored beer on the market and their 60 minute ale is one of my go to beers. I am waiting for the Discovery Channel to air another season of Brew Masters that showcases Dogfish Head Brewery and takes you along on the their adventures to find new flavors and collaborations (such as the making of a traditional Peruvian drink, Chicha, into a beer - there is a strange element to this drink that includes people's saliva). Definitely "Off centered ales for off centered people" like me! You can find back episodes here - Brew Masters.
