Sexual Chocolate
Foothills Brewing Company - Downtown Brewpub

 

 

12 ounce bottle into tulip glass, bottled on 2/8/2022. Pours dense pitch black/brown color with a 2 finger dense tan head with amazing retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Thick soapy lacing and some streaming carbonation on the glass. Aromas of big dark chocolate fudge, vanilla, cocoa, caramel, brown bread/crust, and light molasses/coffee/dark fruit. A perfect dessert nose. Slight booze as it warms? Taste follows with big dark chocolate, cocoa, coffee, fudge, roasted nuts, toast, dark bread/crust, caramel, wood, herbal, pepper, pine, yeast earthiness, and light vanilla/molasses/char/dark fruit,. Medium pine, herbal, and charred bitterness on the finish. Medium carbonation and full body; balanced creamy/silky malt, sticky hop, and chalky roast in the mouthfeel. Lingering hop/char dryness with no acrid/astringency. Mild warming 9.6% after the finish. One of the best Russian Imperial Stouts I've had. Plenty of rich fudge dessert character while retaining the key points of the style on hop balance. Tons of malt complexity, super smooth. Better than the BBA, I'm getting a 6 pack.

Pours a dark opaque color with a nice head and lacing
Aroma has chocolate and roasted malt hints
Taste has a well balanced chocolate and roasted flavor
A medium bodied decently carbonated beer.
A very nice stout.

this beer is good.

Opaque poor with a thick brown creamy head. I bet this is why they named the beer “Sexual Chocolate”. Gorgeous beer that actually looks ummmm “sexual”.
Heavy chocolate malt aroma with faint hint of alcohol. This beer is delicious. One if the best I’ve ever had. Sweet rich dark chocolate with a hint of alcohol on the back end. Thick creamy mouthfeel. Foothills you nailed it with this beer. Certainly a beer everyone should try at least once.

 

 

 

An old vintage. Beer exudes a ton of cocoa and stands up to time. Not overly aromatic or thick but contends extremely well as I tick this stout even if its 10 years old.

Picked up a single from TW-Greenville, SC 7-27-22 for $4.49. Guessing it was bottled in February 2022; consumed 11-29-22.

Beer poured black with a very nice tan head that has some great hang time.

Nose has hints of roasted malts, cocoa, and coffee. Develops the more it warms.

Taste is a larger malt base that is medium to heavy roast that emits notes of coffee. Cocoa addition along with a pretty substantial hop addition balance each other out. Finishes very roasty and dry.

Mouthfeel is medium bodied and smooth.

Overall better than i thought it would be given the name. This is a heavily roasted and hopped beer and not necessarily a dessert stout.

 

 

 

Had on tap at the Foothills Brewpub. Pours a deep black color with a thin off white colored head that leaves a little lacing down the glass. Smells of deep roasted malts, hints of chocolate, coffee, and a hint of caramel / brown sugar sweetness at the end. Tastes excellent, nice roasted malt, chocolate taste and a bit of caramel at the end. Smooth, rich, full bodied, perfect amount of carbonation, feels lighter than it is. Overall, this is an excellent rendition of the style and one I would come back to.

 

Rich dark chocolate flavor balanced on a nicely structured dry malt backbone. Thick, lacey finish.

 

 

Dark brown, approaching black, with three fingers of foamy, dark khaki head. Decent retention gives way to thick rings of lacing.

Dry cocoa, umami, a hint of plum and a good whiff of carbon dioxide in the nose.

Bitter baker’s chocolate, plum, roasty umami and toasted malt in the taste. Dark and fairly bitter.

Thin bodied for an imperial stout these days. Lightly creamy (milky?) with fairly strong carbonation.

Nice dark flavors in this one, but with an underwhelming feel and more carbonation off-gassing than I like.
