“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, 22z. A big, dense, dark tan head sits on top of a dark brown to black body. Lacings too. Lots of chocolate on the nose, really nice, with cocoa and a touch of hops. Chocolate and some alcohol in the flavor, a touch of hoppy bitterness. too. Full-bodied and quite dry, slighlty warming. Dang, this is lovely. One tracked, but lovely. 110827

Bottle from Beers of Europe. Black coloured, brown head. Nose is roasted malts and lots of dark chocolate and mocca. Flavour of roasted malts, chocolate, mocca. Medium bodied. Chewy mouthfeeling. The chocolate is a bit overpowering. Slightly sweet and bitter finish.

Keg at Craft Beer Co, Clerkenwell, London. A black coloured pour with a medium beige head on top. Rich chocolate, malty aroma. Tastes of rich chocolate, sweet, malty. Lovely chocolate stout and the alcohol was hardly noticeable.

Bomber. Huge choclate-cocoa nose. Powdered dry chocolate like Nestle Quick. Milk, vanilla. Black with a nice tan head. Sweet chocolate flavor, alcohol, café au lait, cola. Way too much chocolate, too sweet, too much additives. Almost unpleasant in the end.
