“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 Beer Temple. Black colour, beige head. Aroma of Belgian and plain chocolate, light moccha. Flavour is ground coffee beans, sweet chocolate milk, bitter coffee and plain chocolate finish, light alcohol feel to it. Medium bodied. Not much depth, but very tasty.

On tap @ the Beer Temple. Strong chocolate aroma (chocolate milk/cocoa powder), with some roast/coffee. Not overly sweet flavor, more chocolate and coffee. Nice, should at least try it once.

The only reason this scored as high as it did is because of the great nose. Head faded quickly. Pungent complex nose of alcohol, chocolate and espresso. Lifeless and flat, lots of chocolate, massive harsh unpleasant alcohol heat. Poor mouthfeel. Big bitter finish, mostly from alcohol. A big waste of money

Bomber from Rudolph! Nose of chocolate, oatmeal, some vanilla, and light coffee notes. Black with clear lighter brown edges and a small cinnamon tan head. Flavor is very chocolatey with some white pepperiness, accented by vanilla.

Bottle. Opaque dark brown with a red shine, cappucino lace. Intense dark chocolate, chocolate sirup, vanilla and beautiful coffee notes. Thick creamy mouthfeel - in a blind tasting you might suspect you arre drinking a cocktail with Kahlua and Baleys. Sweet but not cloying - very good balance. Bitter chocolate aftertaste which invites to take another sip. Decadent chocolate cake....
