Chicory Stout, Dogfish Head, DE

Chris brought some of this by this evening, and its now one of my favourite of Dogfish Head's beers.

Advertises itself as having chicory and coffee in it... This could have gone terribly wrong, I'm hard-pressed to recall and beer with coffee in it that I liked, despite really liking coffee. Its just a rich, complex, slightly dry, stout. Not nearly the weirdness I would've expected from Dogfish, which is a good thing!

Driftwood Ale, Driftwood Brewing, BC

Tasty, but not as good as the Farmhand.

Despite not liking a stout they made (and that I can't find on their site anymore), I really like their beer. Their "Farmhand Saison" is a regular at the Dix Caskivals (I suppose we won't see these again?), and I always grab a glass. Anyhow, I like this a lot. Interesting, but not weird, and very tasty.
