Foothills Sexual Chocolate Imperial Stout

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)

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!

22 oz. bottle courtesy of a trade with TheBeerCellar. Pours a dense black with a moderate-large chocolate brown head that lasted until mid-glass and left lots of sticky lace. Very pleasant aroma of chocolate liqueur, roasted malt and a bit of coffee. Nice strong cocoa flavor along with roasted malt and some very light coffee. Light to moderate bitterness at the finish and slightly dry. Full bodied. This is a very enjoyable beer.

22 oz bottle, via CaptainCougar. Pours a beautiful pitch black body with a delicious looking creamy dense espresso brown head that had very good retention for a 10% ABV beer. Fairly standard Impy nose with a bit more chocolate than most. Some roasted nuts and a minimal touch of alcohol. Pretty sweet up front, lots of slightly burnt toffee, molasses, bakers chocolate, cocoa powder, even some plumy fruit. Finishes with a touch more bitterness, burnt toast, coffee, caramel. The alcohol is noticable, but with the big sweetness it’s hidden pretty well. Full bodied and just a touch cloying on the back end, I wish the carbonation was a little less fizzy and prickly. Overall, a pretty nice beer, not among the favorites of the style for me but it’s certainly solid.

Bomber shared by the J-nizz himself. Pre QUAZZ. I love the quazz, especially when its done in log land. When we goin back to log land, J? Nothing to complain about here...full bodied, smooth...a nice blend of roast and malty sweetness. I dug it. Sexy!
