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.

Aroma of rich chocolate with roasted malt. Pours a black color with brown highlights and a thin light brown head. Very good flavor of rich chocolate and roasted malt. The mouthfeel is very soft and mellow.

Bottle@Home. Pure chocolate aroma, nothing else, just Koetjesrepen. Very black, light brown small head, good lace. Liquid chocolate bar at first and liquid bitter chocolate bar in the finish. Medium body. You must adore chocolate because that’s just it.

Bomber. Dark, near pitch pour. Creamy/frothy brown head. Black, opaque body. Big chocolate aroma with mild, underlying caramel. Faint alcohol on the nose. Big time bitter chocolate flavor with some caramel malty sweetness. Almost no alcohol flavor. Fully, viscous body with average carbonation and some chocolate oiliness. Overall a very nice beer, but it seems a bit one-sided and chocolate heavy. Lacks the complexity that I’d really like to see in a beer such as this. Some more roast, coffee, slight ash would be a nice complement to the chocolate.

Pours a deep black color with a light brown head. Aroma is bitter chocolate, roast, some prune, caramel, and some hops. Flavor is caramel, roast, bitter chocolate, some fruit, and a very bitter spicy finish.

Bottle. Pours a black abyss with a coffee tan head. Loads of viscous liquid chocolate, dark chocolate, with a chewy coco alcohol warming. So rich thick and viscous its hard to finish a bottle. With that said the flavor is so on point its incredible. Great in milk, over ice cream etc. Awesome for what it is.

22oz courtesy of bmartin08. amazing beer, you have to try it. smells and tastes of about 80% cocoa. non-geeks really like this stuff, everybody likes this stuff! and it’s 11%, which you can’t really tell since it tastes irresistable.
