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.

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.

Jet black pour, minimal head. Aroma is unbelievably heavy and thick, with dark chocolate, marshmallow, coffee, and cream. Flavor holds massive chocolate and cream, with alcohol certainly evident. Palate is not as thick and rich as I would have expected; if you’re going to go for the decadent sweet beer, the mouthfeel should follow suit more than this does. Nevertheless, a delectable offering, but not as impressive as the Creme Brulee in my mind.

Utterly black pour with thin tan head. Coffee and chocolate are evident from three feet away. Actual aroma is dark chocolate syrup, and a huge marshmallow cream character, with a subtle back of coffee. Flavor is creamy roast, massive amounts of milk chocolate, marshmallow, and a syrupy dark sugar profile. Palate is thick and lacking in carbonation, which certainly works here. Lots of sweet cocoa and candy like sugars with a huge cream character dominate this brew. Truly a dessert beer.

Oh my....pours a nice, deep black with a pinkish tan head. Smells immediately of chocolate and slight coffee. Without a doubt one of the smoothest, richest, silkiest beers I’ve ever tasted. It tastes like dark chocolate....delicious roast malts too. Unbelievably good.
