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.

Bomber. Pours dark black brown, but not as dark as I expected. Thin tan head. Aroma is chocolate and vanilla ice cream. Flavor is super sweet chocolate, too sweet in my opinion. Very oily mouth feel, very malty with a bit of pine/hops bitterness. This is just too sweet for me.

Bomber thanks to Pantanap. Pours dark and opaque with a big tan head. Nose of chocolate, and more chocolate with a bit of alcohol. Taste is overwhelmingly chocolate, bitter and a bit alcoholic. Thick and chewy, you almost eat this rather than drink it. Overall a great beer if you’re a chocolate lover-like me! Weird thing is-this is better a bit cold-as it warms it thins out and the alcohol takes over. Points deducted for that "flaw".

Bouteille de 600 ml. Dégusté avec french tickler et agaguk. Bière de couleur noire avec un très bon collet très collant. Odeur intense de chocolat (milkshake), café, crème, caramel, miel et épices. Gout un épicé, chocolat, très crémeux et un peu de vanille. Vraiment une excellente bière.

600ml Bottle shared with Pirozoid and French Tickler. Black appearance with a medium brown creamy bubblely head. Aroma: nice smell of fudge at fist nose followed with vanilla, chocolate syrup, cream and light alcohol. Flavor: chocolate syrup, alcohol, cream, vanilla. Palate: full body, soft carbonation, silky creamy with chocolate syrup alcihol finish.

Dégusté avec Agaguk et Pyrozoid. Apparence noir tres foncé, mousse brune collante. Aromes de chocolat INTENSE, en fait je dirais précisément un gateau foret noir, cerises, tootsie rolls... Wow! Corps incroyablement crémeux et tres bien balancé. Légere sensation d’alcool au palait egalement. Gout intense de lait au chocolat, gateau foret noir reviens encore, cerise noir, creme glacé au chocolat, chocolat noir...

Thanks to MrChopin for this beer. Pours a deep blackish brown with a mocha head. Nose of chocolate cake and roasted malts. Flavor is sweet chocolate with a roasty flavor...very, very chocolaty...very much a dessert beer. Loved it.

On tap at The Irish Pol in Philly... Incredible aroma of rich chocolate up front. Alcohol is picked up slightly after you get through the heavy chocolate syrup flavor. Great dessert beer.

Somewhat fluffy head, a milk froth of mocha over a deep black/brown body. Super-rich chocolate cake aroma with moderate roasted notes close behind. Sweet cocoa/syrup comes through strong in the flavor with a healthy (yet smooth) alcohol kicker. Only mild roasted bitterness in the finish, which is otherwise a lengthy & decadent chocolate indulgence. An ultimate "Dessert Beer" bar none. ~~~~~~~~ From an old notebook, unknown review date. Purchased December 2007, Binny’s, Orland Park, IL.
