Foothills Sexual Chocolate Imperial Stout

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

DLD 2009, thanks to kp: This poured black with mahogany edges and a slender brown head. The aroma was roasted malts, bittersweet chocolate, dark caramel, and coffee. Some dark juicy fruit was added to the flavor and the chocolate became sweeter and some alcohol appeared near the end. Nice roasty finish.

(Trade with WeeHeavySD) Have to admit it up front. The label and name got me hooked to add it to my Wanted List! This was bottle 117 of 500. Upon popping the cap very little carbonation sound. Escapes the bottle with a thick glug, glug, glug. Light ring of dark tan foam around my glass. Aroma is loaded with expresso and molasses scents. Body is absolutely chewy. Feel like I’m eating plums with a black chocolate chaser. Expresso traits taunting me in the aftertaste. Warming in the throat after a few sips. This is an awesome stout. Not overly burnt in the flavor, but a step above porter. Was expecting lots of sludge at the bottom of the bottle, but there was none.

2009 bottle thanks to oldgrowth. black pour with a thin espresso head. nose is thick with chocolate, roasted malts, coffee, syrup and caramel. very nice thickness with a chocolate flavor backed with a coffee and roasted malts finish.

Sampled at DLD ’09 thanks to kp! Poured a very nice dark pour, black with some brown notes, with tannish brown head that clings a bit. Aromas show roasted malts and coffee, with bittersweet chocolate rearing into the fold. Flavors are similar, showing good roast and good balancing bitterness from the coffee and semi-sweet chocolate. A decent body, with a tuch of dark fruit and chocolate seemingly winning the race to the backend of the beer. Alcohol hidden well at this point. Bitterness stands up at the end, but chocolate was strong. Pretty good. Cheers!

Bottle thanks to Mar. Pours a black with tan head. Aroma of some coffee and burnt grains, malt. Flavor of dark roast, slight bitter, espresso, faint sweetness. Mouth feel is medium-heavy body with low carbonation. Overall, very nice!

2009 Bottle thanks to mar! Pours thick with a dark brown head over a near black body. Aroma is chocolate, rich cocoa, dark fruits, leather and molasses. Taste is raisins, ash, dark fruits and chocolate. Thick and mouthcoating with light bubbles.

Taste-light sour chocolate, coffee, chocolate, chocolate, chocolate. Dry chocolate, at that. Not bad, but doesn’t hold up to something like Southern Tier’s chocolate beers.
