Foothills Sexual Chocolate Imperial Stout

Brewed by Foothills Brewing
Style: Imperial Stout
Winston-Salem, North Carolina USA

Ebay Auction. Black Brown pour with reddish hue. Nice chocolaty roast aroma, Some hints of coffee as well. Dry chocolate taste with bitter finish. It was good but I expected more.

Very dark and thick. Small tan head. Aroma is roasty, dark chocolate and cream. Flavor is sweet, light roast, bittersweet dark chocolate. Sweet and chocolaty, milky at times, really good.

From the Jug at the GABF Colorado Convention Center, Denver 09/10/2008 Some bourbon aroma. Small beige head. Black strong in alcohol and a little rich on the palate with a very bitter coffee roast finish.

Pours an exceptional black with no highlights and a reasonably sized head of tan foam. Smells of molasses and chocolate, an some earthy aroma. Tastes very strongly of molasses, with a roasted malt aftertaste. Cream is present as well. Booze does not rear it’s head. Strangely enough considering it’s name, there isn’t much in the way of chocolate in the taste. No real hop presence. Mouth is medium bodied an carbonation. Would have liked this to be thicker. This one goes down extremely easy but considering the difficulty in obtaining one, let’s just say I am glass to have tried it once.

Thank you MrBunn...you win. Smells of cherry pipe tobacco.....light chocolate and some pine. Pours black with a rich tan head. Incredibly smooth, with notes of resin, some chocolate, a bit of spice, and some tobacco. This is good stuff. finish has a lingering sweet/bitter chocolate to it that makes my mouth fall in love with it. Sexual Chocolate, indeed.

Bottle with thanks to kp. Pours a dark and viscous brown with a head that has died to a film as I wait for this to warm. Aromas of chocolate, tobacco, leather, pine and so on. The label of this is kick ass and adds a tick to the appearance without question. Flavor is chocolate malt based, but has a pine hops edge to the finish. Tons of cherries come out as this warms, which makes the experience all the better. God bless Sexual Chocolate. This is darn fine stuff.

I’m somewhat surprised by the love for this beer. Clever name, great label, etc. etc., but the beer itself, while good, is very normal by Imperial Stout standards, and even could be regarded as "plain" within the style, to my taste. Especially the chocolate side of it. Bottle shared at RBSG 2009 grand tasting.

Just found my notes for this. Shared by Pantanap last November. Poured pitch black. Aroma was roast, licorice and bitter chocolate. Taste was much the same with some coffee, nice and thick, and well rounded flavors. Not as much chocolate as the name might suggest but still a nice stout.
