“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.

On tap at the Brick Store Pub. Pitch black color, with a small, tan ring. The aroma is bittersweet chocolate, mild roast coffee, grains, molasses, and a bit of anise. Very sweet, roasty, and just a touch of bitterness. Heavy body, very creamy and thick. This is a smooth and decadent stout. Best I could tell, the noodles only added some breadiness to the aroma and a thick palate.

33cl bottle. Pitch black pour with a medium height tan head that gives way to a thin, sticky lacing. Smells like cold brewed coffee, roasted malts, cherries, subtle vanilla bean and milk chocolate. The taste follows the same notes, roasty bitter, chocolate sweet and a bit hoppy. Full body with low carbonation and a velvet smooth roasty bitter-sweet finish.

11.2oz bottle from Brasserie V My first spaghetti beer. Deep opaque black body. Thin, oily beige head, patchy. Very pleasant chocolate-coffee aroma. Steady coffee currents. Mellow, great cacao nib tones. Perfect mouthfeel, very nice beer. Optimum World Class Imperial Stout.
