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.

Poured black with a beige head. Aroma of chocolate syrup. Creamy with hot fudge and milky notes. Roasted malts and sugars in the finish. Insanely drinkable for 11%.

Rating no. 5000. Thanks a bunch for this one Plovmand. Pours a deep dark brown colour with a medium creamish head. Even though the glass a foot away I can very much indeed smell the sweet chocolate racing up my nose. Great filling sticky thick mouthfeel. The flavour is bustling with sweet dark chocolate, chocolate, chocolate, alcohol and chococlate. Very sweet and bitter chocolate long lasting finish. This is THE chococlate bomb of a beer. Actually mu beer no. 5000 was a blind tasted good home brew from Plovmand, which got 3,7. :-)

Bottle. Black body with a creamy tan head. Aroma is sweet caramel and loads of chocolate. The flavour is very sweet malty and heavy sweet chocolate. Its way too much and overpowers almost any other tasting notes. The body is thick and smooth but its like drinking cocoa milk.

Bottle shared by plovmand. Pours dark brown with a medium tan head. Aroma is sweet, milk chocolate with notes of coconut and alcohol. Flavor is also milk chocolate and alcohol with notes of coconut and a strong bitter aftertaste. Unbalanced.

Dark and rich motor-oil color with no head whatsoever. Smells like a fresh opened bottle of Hershey’s syrup. Has a dark cocoa bean taste with caramel hints. Much better than a hot cocoa on a cold day. This is a beer to savor.

Black/dark brown, off white head. A ton of dark/bittersweet chocolate. Imperial stout with chocolate. Solid brew but too much chocolate for my taste.You better have some keebler de-luxe grahams on hand when drinking this brew.

Black with a thin cinnamon/tan head. Aroma is incredible! Huge milk chocolate fills the nose with a slight roasted malt character underneath. Chocolate malt coupled with the Belgian bittersweet chocolate dominate the initial taste. Soon followed by more pleasant bitterness from other roasted malts and hops. Completely mouthfilling and pleasant throughout. Carbonation adds well to the creaminess even though there is little head or lacing. Very, very sweet but hides the alcohol completely. Very impressed. If you can find it, give it a shot, otherwise stick to Rogue’s chocolate stout as this is expensive and only worth having when you have the time to truly savor the entire bottle. Top notch chocolate stout.
