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.

’08 bomber shared with TheBeerSommelier - thanks Matt... pours a deep black with a good sized tan head... Huge chocolate aromas - the name says it all... Chocolate from front to back followed by a slight bitterness... the chocolate is not overwhealming though... I could easily drink the whole bottle myself.

Bottle from Kelly via Seattle. Pours a viscous black color with a faint reddish brown head. Smells and tastes of semi-sweet chocolate. Finishes with a note of hops, but don’t get me wrong - this is pure Hershey’s syrup. Heed the warnings and split this at least 4 ways per bottle. I feel like I’m turning into Cornholio as I drink this.

Bottle, Pours black as night with a tall tight brown head. Notes of, what else, chocolate fill my nose with a hint of vanilla and caramel. The body is heavy and syrupy. The chocolate dominates with what tastes like 60 percent dark chocolate. I feel like I’m drinking herseys syrup. The body is fairly lifeless and the bottle is nearly impossible to finish alone. This must be 800 calories, easy. I love chocolate, but I would like some malty notes or a hoppy front to get the chocolate moving a bit more.

0.65l - Oily, pitch black liquid under a dark tan head of small size. Chocolate shavings on nose. Palate is Hershey syrup followed by a burst of hops. This was good.

If you want chocolate here you go! Poured oily black with a tan head. Aroma of chocolate. Tons of bitter chocolate. A little hot. Should be great with a year on it.

Courtesy of Nbutler11, thanks Nick, I have been looking forward to this! The color is black with a weak, red hue and a creamy head. The aroma is a massive attack of chocolate with hints of cocoa and filled chocolates. The flavour has sweetness, not cloying, and the same notes as the aroma and a light coffee bitterness in the finish. In the beginning it is absolutely wonderful, but in the long run 66 cc is too much for sharing between 2 persons. So nice yes, but in small quantities.

Bottle. High fluffy and long lasting light brown head. This time the beer really is pitch black. Absolutely no light through the glass. Powerful and lovely sweet creamy orange choccolate aroma. Simple but good. Intensive slighltly bitter choccolate flavor. Aftertaste long lasting and lovely bitter. Low carbonation. Man I like it.
