Tap at moondogs (NoDa). average light brown and mostly lasting head into black body. good lacing was present. aromas of strong chocolate, coffee, and light hops. flavor is moderately sweet into light bitter. actually a bit more wateryness than I expected. the finish duration lasts forever and ever. soft on the palate velvety mouthfeel. F’n Amazing!

Sep 2, 2008 Pours black with a nice mocha head. Aroma of chocolate, cofee, roasted malts. Taste is the same with some molasses and a touch of tobacco. Slight bitterness from the chocolate Very nice balanced mix of all of the flavors. Nothing overpowers. "SEXUAL CHOCOLATE!" *drops mic and walks off stage*

Aug 30, 2008 One of the many bottles chilled in our bathtub at GABF 2007. The pour and the head remind me of Goose Island Bourbon County Stout; fully dissipating after that. The flavor disappointed. If it’s going to be called Sexual Chocolate, it needs more chocolate, and needs more decadence. There are residual sugars here that are not integrated into the malty and sweet base, which is also nicely winey in its fruit character. The end is hoppy and bitter, which is a nice counterpoint. Still, it didn’t live up to expectation.

Aug 10, 2008 Bottle. @ the Horse school WSF-08 afterparty in Opstal.
Dark black color with a average to large, frothy, good lancing, mostly diminishing, light brown head. Aroma is moderate to heavy malty, roasted, chocolate, dark fruits, chilli notes. Very complex. Flavor is moderate to heavy sweet and bitter with a long duration. Body is medium to full, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. Very very nice ;o)) This is very good stuff. (240508)

Aug 9, 2008 Bottle 489/500 from OldGrowth, and boy, this thing lived up to all expectations, wow! Pour was dark black in color, some brown hues to it, but pretty much pretty pitch black, great chocolate colored head, very generous, hard to split the bottle into 2 x 250ml glasses, but successfully done. The lacing was decent too. The aroma was chocolate with some faint roast. The flavor was far more impressive, a great blend of chocolate and slightly resinous hops, very well balanced, amply carbonated to make this very drinkable and nothing sticky-like. The roast elements were great, adding a light bitterness to the experience. A fantastic choco-hopped impy, as good as can be done without more heavily emphasizing (ala Speedway) the coffee approach. Thanks so much, Tom, great body and carbonated body, really nice stuff. (And, I’m always skeptical of what the "locals" can make of a brew like this.... not in this case, lives up to the hype!
