“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 from Craftissimo at home. Opaque black pour with thin foamy tan head. Very big boozy roasted aroma, maybe a bit of deep coffee too - a bit like Mikkeller's Beer Geek Brunch Weasel. Taste is also like the Mikkeller beer but not as big and rich. Bitter, roasted, sweet chocolate. Thinner palate than expected, but not bad. Lasting roasted boozy finish. Very solid Imperial Stout.

Bottle from Biernavigatie, BB 28 02 16, large sample, served in a snifter. Dark brown color, medium frothy dark brown head. Aroma of big coffee, roasted malts, dark chocolate. Also slight red fruit and a bit spicy, but mostly coffee and chocolate. Slight sweet, bit bitter, which seems to come for a fair amount of hop. Soft to medium carbonation, medium body. Quite velvety mouthfeel, but not in a sticky and malty way. Quite enjoyable.

BBE 14.02.16 - Pours pitch black with a smooth light brown head. Aroma of roasted malts, dark chocolate, coffee, cocoa and licorice. Taste is smooth, sweetish and roasty with some lingering licorice, dark chocolate and coffee notes. Finish is lingering with roastiness and bitterness, some notes of dark chocolate, salty licorice, coffee and cocoa. Quite interesting and balanced.
