“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.

0,65l bottle at home at Vienna Tasting shared by Nische, big thank. black color, small tan head. smells quite a lot of vanilla, raisins, licorice, chocolate, bit medical, light bitter herbal. good stuff. full body, soft carbonation, slick mouthfeel. tastes of vanilla, medical, chocolate, bit medical, licorice, raisins. finishes bit medical with some roast and notes of vanilla and medical. decent stuff, but not a fan of vanilla at all, so not the biggest fan of this. still kind of enjoyable.

Bottle thanks to Jon! Pours a deep black with a small tan head that dissipates almost instantly. Sweet Hershey’s milk chocolate all over the nose with some light cacao in the background. Taste isn’t as sweet as the nose would lead you to believe. Lots of cacao with some light roasted notes and bitter baker’s chocolate notes. Dry finish that leaves a nice coating of cocoa all over the palate. Very good and even better with vanilla ice cream on the side! --- Beer merged from original tick of Blackwater Series: Choklat on 10 Dec 2015 at 21:59 - Score: 8

Pours light black with coffee translucent rims and sparse latte foam on the edges. The nose shows milk chocolate with sweet chocolate notes. The palate is lightly carbonated and medium bodied. Mild chocolate sweetness with notes of slightly roasted malts, a dark chocolate bitterness and chocolate once again upon the linger.

On tap at Black Friday. Velvety smooth, aroma confirms beer namesake, flavor brings it all to fruition. Chocolate essence abounds, very smooth despite the high ABV. Silky black pour with spare beige head, but still leaves streaky lacing. Deserving of its reputation.
