“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.

From a 330ml bottle on 22/5/2014. Pours the darkest of browns with a small head. The aroma is very pleasant with lots of chocolate and a touch of coffee. Flavour wise, it’s pretty intense - roasty coffee dominates, with good dollops of chocolate in the background. Has a fair bit of soy in there too, and it finishes with a big, dry bitterness. Has a fullish body and lively carbonation for the style. An enjoyable, full on beer.

33cl bottle @ Terminal 1, Codogno. Kick ass label. BB 28/09/2016, lotto# 4054. Noire, col café au lait assez épais. Arôme profond de café sur un rétro généreux de chocolat. Le café parvient néanmoins à s’immiscer un peu plus sur un léger bouquet poussiéreux grains et un côté agréable venant de cet ajout de spaghetti dans le brassin? Palais offre de suite le style avec un café généreux. D’ailleurs première bière me venant à l’esprit est la Wake-n Bak de Terrapin. Choco et café à profusion avec un petit résiduel doux. Amertume s’immisce en fin de bouche avec au final une petite rondeur d’avoine. Et des spaghetti dans la bière vraiment? Je ne parviens pas vraiment à les noter, mais bon ....

Bottle 330ml (BDLX)
Opaque black, small steady brownish head, some lace. Strong coffee, coffee beans aroma. Full-bodied. Roasted malts, licorice, caramel, lots of coffee. Oily palate. Covers alcohol quite well, but is quite sweet too. I am not big fan of real coffee tasting stouts but this one has also other things going on.
