People toss around the word “love” too much these days. You don’t love Snookie from “Jersey Shore” you’re just envious of her lifestyle and want to be a part of it. But my friends I’m going to go ahead and say it, I like Dogfish Head’s Chicory Stout. I want to date it. If it would have me I would take it away for a romantic weekend getaway and propose to it. We’d have a destination wedding and live happily ever after. My wife knows about this and is fine with it. Well let me clarify that she’s ok with me loving the beer but she thinks the fact that I want to date it is kind of weird. We all have our quarks though.

What makes it so good? It’s like drinking a big tall delicious cup of the best black coffee your. The best cup of coffee your undeserving mouth has ever tasted. Yeah think about it. The aroma is something children dream about at night. Dark chocolate notes dance along with the coffee aroma, both playing nicely with the chicory. The taste is so wonderful I almost cry every time I take a sip. If you’ve ever had coffee down in New Orleans, or at least some place that puts chicory in their coffee, you already have a good idea of what’s going on here. Dark a big dark roasted flavor that just perfectly balanced. The beers got big flavors all around and full bodies but drinkable. Just an all around great beer, it’s defiantly my favorite stout and possibly my favorite beer. There, I said it!
