Foothills Sexual Chocolate 2017 release

Perhaps the sarcasm was lost on you?

 

Black IPA? Makes me wonder if you've ever had a black IPA.

 

You should make your way out to the share one time. It is a great time!

 

I like SC. Never been to the release and rarely get any bottles, but always have a few on draft every year (every place in town has it on around Valentines Day usually). Never got a black IPA taste from it though, which is good because black IPA's are gross.

 

The parties are always fun and ones to where I truly found some good people. I don't think its an over-hyped beer it just stands as something more in NC. Foothills has reached a point (no bottle limit) where lots of consumers have had it. One thing i would love to see are some variants. This is their most well known beer......change it up a little. My .02.

If you haven't been to a release, i recommend it. Hit one of the parties or be a trooper and hit both. Cheers!

 

Yeah there is that one guy on this site that swears by it. Maybe I don't drink black IPA enough.

 

If any of y'all live near Hillsborough. The Wooden Nickle will have Sexual Chocolate on tap the entire month.

 

Other than Dead and Berried? Which, okay, granted, is a variant of BASC not SC.

Regardless, variants would be cool.

 

Why the hate for my favorite Cold Mountain. I love this beer. This thread was perfectly fine on talking Sexual Chocolate. >mutters<

 

This was my first beer release several years ago and it was a great experience, particularly the in line share. While the beer is way more accessible these days, I would still recommend checking it out for anyone that has never been. Its still a quality beer but other breweries have closed the gap in the imperial stout genre.

 

Cold Mountain is the most over-hyped thing in NC, hands down. It's a slightly spiced thin mess of a beer, IMO. I've never understood the fascination with it.

I think Sexual Chocolate is a good beer, but I certainly don't seek it out. I've had my share. I do agree, too, that it's too thin. The BA version is much better, but doesn't hold a candle to the BA stouts coming out of Olde Hickory.

All that being said - the shares and people are typically great.

 

True dat - very generous shares and great people. I've tried many whales for the first time at BA Sexy releases.

 

Oh, I get it. I feel the same way about IPA's, most over hyped liquid garbage on the planet. However, I understand that is it just my view and not shared by many in Asheville as well.

 

Betcha more folks share my view than yours... just sayin'.

 

Good thing they make both so we all have something to drink I usually get one point of Cold Mountain a year, remember why I'm not a fan, and that's it for the year.

 

True dat. Ever had the Imperial Cold Mountain? @treznor

 

All right, all right, no interjecting logic into this discussion.. Heh...

 

Nope. Don't think any made it to Hickory and I didn't go over to Asheville when it was around. Wanted to try it but just didn't line up.

 

It too rates a meh in my book, maybe a meh+.
