“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.

Ergießt sich cremig dunkel in Glas, Schaum fast wie eine Mousse. In der Nase Espresso und Zartbitterschokolade. Im Trunk alkoholisch, bitter, dann deutlich Zartbitter - langer Abgang. Wahnsinns-Bier!

Shared bottle. Black with small beige head. Dry coffee, dark chocolate, roasted nuts, light apple and grapes. Quite bitter with a light sweetness underneath and a hint of tartness in the beginning. Medium bodied. Nice beer but hangs a lot on the coffee.

Bottle received in trade from MrBarleywine, thanks for the opportunity Mike! Dark brown with the faintest of garnet at the edges and a decent sized frothy mocha head that slowly recedes. Huge coffee and chocolate on the nose as advertised, but hard to find much else there. The flavor is rich roasty malt with plenty of chocolate and coffee and maybe a hint of earth. Medium to thick body with a rich creamy velvety mouthfeel, and a light level of carbonation. There’s not a whole lot of complexity here, but damn if this isn’t just a fun sweet tasty beverage.

330ml bottle. Jet black colour with late awakening, average, thick, frothy to creamy, fairy lasting, moderately lacing, mocha head. Roasty, cocoa and coffee aroma, cappuccino, mocha gateau, coffee beans. Taste is roasty dark malty, moderately bitter (hop and roast induced), some coffee, coffee beans. Relatively light, very drinkable - not only for the infantile degustation, I guess.

Getrunken 2015 auf der Braukunst live in München. Ein Bier das alles hat: vollmundiges Malz, tiefschwarze Farbe, ölige, aber dennoch frische Textur und dazu eine Bitterkeit, die einfach passt. Nicht zu viel, nicht zu wenig.
