4.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Bomber bottle from Dchmela. # 990 of 1000. A thick black pour with a thin head. Very lacie and unbalanced between roasty malts and the alcohol. But after a few sips evened out well. Rich and dark. Just the way I like it!
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Draft at the pre-sex tasting a couple years ago. I saw people keep walking into the cooler and wondered why. It was this. I remember this is a thinner, less sweet version of SC. Slightly earthy, char, strong roast.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Nice and very unexpected treat at Pre-Sex. Pour is noticeably lighter than the regular SC, though still dark, like real milk chocolate. Everyone loves the Sexy Choc for its deep roast and molasses, and it was interesting how the lagering (whether or not with lager yeasts) seemed to give the nose and flavor a sweeter edge, almost like French Toast with a bit of a tang to it. Some moderate smoke in the semi-dry finish and overall like the shy teenaged version of the adult SC. Fun try.
3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Dark pour with a wispy beige head. Aroma was ashy, and espresso. Flavor was slightly smokey with hints of toffee, chocolate, and roasted grains. Glad to have tried this one

On tap at FootSex pre-release party. I think this was from ’08. Pours dark brown with decent beige head. Nose shows some chocolate, caramel, mild toffee, roast, and earthy/ashy notes, which come to the fore a bit more on the palate. This is solid if a bit strange (and perhaps unnecessary). A great experiment and fun to try, but it certainly pales in comparison to its big brother.
