Commercial Description:
“the ancients called it ‘food for the gods’“ The Popol Vuh, the sacred book of the Maya, unfolds a complex web of mystery around a beverage known as xocoatl (ch-co-atle). At Southern Tier, we’re not surprised that hieroglyphs of the ancient Maya depict chocolate being poured for rulers and gods. Even through the many voyages of Columbus, the mystical bean remained nothing more than a strange currency of the native peoples. Moving through centuries, the circular journey of cacao has been realized in our brewing house, encompassing the complexity of the darkest, bitter-sweet candy together with the original frothy cold beverage of the ancient Maya to bring to you our Blackwater Series Choklat Stout. We have combined the finest ingredients to tempt your senses & renew the power & interrelation of history in every bottle.

Well now a 99??? I will be in the minority and say I won’t drink this again. The 11% is not noticeable because everything is buried under the chocolate smell and flavor. The only other hint i caught was vanilla. Kudos for you if you like it.

From the bottle during the Super Bowl. A bit more bitter than I expected... oh wait, that may have been the bitterness of defeat. All the great flavor of the Creme Brulee, without the overwhelmingly cloying finish. This beer stuck with a strait chocolate flavor that bittered out nicely at the finish. A great malty character without much hop present... the malt lover / chocolate fanatic really needs to get ahold of a bottle! My next trial... finding this on tap! Another well done beer by Southern Tier... they really keep impressing me!

Bottle. Pours black with big brown head. Smell is dark chocolate, taste is dark chocolate. Reminds me of drinking hot cocoa but in cold beer form. This beer is excellent.

Thoroughly enjoyed via draft in a small whiskey snifter. The beer pours an opaque black color with a small but long-lasting tan head. The nose is pure melted milk chocolate, absolutely amazing. No hop or discernable malt presence is perceptable in the nose. The palate replicates the aromas advertised previously. Flavors of chocolate smores, a touch of roasted malt, and a slightly sweet finish grace the palate. It is utterly amazing how the brewers at Southern Tier achieved this flavor profile in a beer. A work of art.

Bottle. Pours black with quickly diminishing tan head. Taste is bitter and lightly sweet. Palate is full-bodied and creamy with a bitter finish. Aromas have burnt malt, dark chocolate, fruits.

Bottle courtesy of RCL. Dark dark brown pour. Heavy tan head. Aroma of smores. Smore what? I haven’t had any yet. I’ll take some more more. :) Ridiculous chocolate taste. Oh wow this is great flavored cocoa. Sweetness seeps into the niceness. Finishes smooth and sweet. This is rockin!
