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.

Bottle. Smells like straight fresh chocolate, that’s a good thing. Black. with small head. Creamy chocloate candy bar taste. This might be the best smelling beer I’ve ever had. The taste is ALL chocolate, which got on my nerves as I finished the 22oz bottle. Sweet and chocolatey finish. No otyher beer I’ve had comes close to the chocolate taste.

This beer is deceptive in many ways. First, it is nearly black in the glass but doesn’t look particularly great, leaving just a little tan lacing above the oil slick cap. Aromas are intense chocolate. Cocoa, chocolate chips. Then another deception on the palate, where the hops grab your attention right away while the tongue anticipates chocolate milk or cold cocoa. Some nice spicing, too, of cinnamon and nutmeg to round out the flavors. Finally, you would never guess at the 11 percent alcohol. Wow.

Pours a dark dark bornw with a thin even tan head. Sweet chocolate. Tootsie roll pop! Chocolate, precisely. No real hop aromas or any off flavors. Just creamy, creamy, simple. Fully rich creamy mouth. Textbook! Really sweet! alcohol pops out a bit more, but not much. Big tootsie roll again. Really round. Really simple and clean. A bit of an alcoholic Tootsie roll finish.

22 ounce bottle split in pint glass. Black with lasting brown head and lotsa lace. Cark chocolate syrup aroma. Cark chocolate flavor with roasted coffee and some hoppy grassyness. Bittersweet chocolate finish. Full body, medium carb. An excellent desert, if slightly one-dimensional. No alcohol presence.

silver label black cap bomber from a trade with hogtownharry. pours black and headless with very soft carbonation. aromas are huge chocolate. sweet syrupy chocolate with some vanilla notes. flavours are chocolate with some dark chocolate and hop bitterness at the end. really really chocolaty and good. an expanded flavour profile could make it better but im in now complaining about this recipe. a must try for any chocolate lover.

Opaque brown / black with a thin tan head. Aroma is very undeniably chocolate, and quite unlike typical chocolate malt. Taste is same and richly so. Taste is smooth, and alcohol is barely apparent. Pleasant and subtle carbonation. $9/22oz
