“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.

Botella de 65 cl en Llamas. Agosto de 2013. Increíble cerveza de color negro intenso con espuma algo oscura bastante persistente. Cuerpo medio - fuerte con sabores tostados, quemados y sobretodo a café que van incrementando a medida que calienta. Muy buena con además 11.2 vol. (según etiqueta) que la hacen aún más interesante. Ideal para pasar un largo rato muy agradable. Imprescindible repetir.

22 ounce bottle into snifter, bottled on 5/26/2011. Pours pitch black color with a 1 finger dense tan head with good retention, that reduces to a thin lace cap that lingers. Light spotty lacing clings on the glass with some alcohol legs. Aromas of huge milk chocolate, cocoa, fudge, toffee, cream, vanilla, roasted malt, caramel, light coffee, toast, and roasted earthiness. Fantastic complexity and balance of chocolate, dark/roasted malt, and light coffee notes; with great strength. Taste of big milk chocolate, cocoa, fudge, toffee, caramel, toast, vanilla, cream, coffee, roasted malt, and roasted earthiness. Light roasted bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of milk chocolate, cocoa, fudge, caramel, toast, toffee, vanilla, cream, coffee, and roasted malt on the finish for a while. Incredible complexity and balance of chocolate and dark/roasted malt flavors with moderate coffee presence; with big robustness and zero cloying sweetness after the finish. Light-medium carbonation and full bodied; with a creamy, slick, and lightly chalky mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is very well hidden with only a slight warming present after the finish. Overall this is a fantastic chocolate/coffee imperial stout! Even with the significant age of it. All around awesome complexity, balance, and robustness of chocolate, dark/roasted malt, and light coffee flavors; and very smooth to sip on for the big ABV. A highly enjoyable offering.

Bottle - Nose is all chocolate and coffee. Jet black with a brown rich head. Bittersweet chocolate and then to the dark roast coffee. A huge bold beer with the usual Southern Tier quality.

Flaska från Brill. Kolsvart, lågt skum, alkoholgardiner. En söt chokladdoft a la chokladpudding svävar ovanför glaset som en dimma. Den lägger sig också som en lätt sötsliskig hinna över smakerna som annars är trevliga. Välrostad malt, kaffe, alkoholvärme, lite stramare och torrare avslutning. Maffig med mycket smaker, som dock inte riktigt hänger ihop.

Bomber bought through Brill & Co. pours pitch black with a small creamy mocha head that is rather quick to dissipate while leaving some lacing on the glass. Smell is sweet and tiny acetic with roasted malts, dark roast coffee, milk chocolate, charred wood, toffee, fudge and hints of vanilla beans. Taste is sweet, bitter and tiny fruity tart with roasted malts, dark roast coffee, dark chocolate, vanilla beans, wood, peat and hints of sweet soy sauce, toffee, caramel and fudge. Mouthfeel is round, sticky sweet, very tiny tart, tiny boozy and medium to full bodied. Finish is sweet and bitter with roasted malts, dark roast coffee, milk chocolate, vanilla beans, wood and hints of peat. A bit too much of everything…

650 ml bottle. Pours black with light tan head that dissipates quickly. Aromas of dark chocolate milk, coffee, vanilla, and heavily roasted malt. Flavors of chocolate, sweet coffee, and brownies with perhaps a bit of soy sauce. Very nice but carbonated and quite warm - the alcohol is present in heat and taste.

Pitch black colour, no head. Aroma of chocolate, mocha, mild coffee, roasted malts. Quite sweet flavour, chocolate and liquorice. Thick texture, agar-agar thickness, finish liquorice, mocha and alcohol.
I don’t get why some brewers use agar to give the illusion of a bigger body.
