Here's a tasty historical titbit: in East Germany during the late 70's there was a terrible crisis - they didn't have enough coffee. During this time we would hazard a guess that mornings weren't great. So they introduced the concept of mischkaffee, or "mixed coffee", which blended chicory and rye with a bit of coffee.

Bottle. Darkish brown with a small crema head. Looks like coffee. Intriguing, almost magic tricky aroma - first sweet coffee and moderate roasted barley and then suddenly it’s almost borscht-like (!) Then dill-like herbal notes turn to chicory and remind you of the coffee smelled in the first place. Quite something. Rather thin, medium to low carbonation. Lots of chicory - which for me is a poor substitute for rather than complements coffee - earthy, spicy, toasty bread. Very interesting but didn’t love it.
