Commercial Description:
“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.

22 oz bottle purchased from Chuck’s Liquor in Bowling Green. Poured an obsidian black color with a two finger brown head. The aroma was...you guessed it...chocolate. Other faint notes of coffee and roasted malt exist, but are overwhelmed by the chocolate. The flavor was both milk and bitter chocolate, with a warming alcohol finish. The palate was perfect, with soft carbonation, a full body and a silky smooth mouthfeel. This was my perfect dessert beer. I hope to be able to purchase 4-5 more of these for special occasions.

Pours a dark brown/black color with a small head. Nose smells like a tootsie roll melted wth caramel but lacks depth and complexity. Initial taste is similar to the aroma with tootsie roll chocolate / cocoa pours over the mouth. Sweet/caramel lingers in the background with touches of coffee/roasted malt. Palate duration is good. Medium body and silky mouthfeel. Overall interesting and drinkable but I believe a little overrated.

On tap - Malt&Vine; Never has a title been as on-the-nose as Choklat. It is a power-ballad of chocolate and cocoa from the nose to the final drop. Huge roasted chocolate malt backbone that is silky smooth with a chocolate sweetness everywhere. Some light root spice notes as well as various other subtle earthy characteristics - with a touch of mint on the finish.

Bottle. See below post. A fantastic beer! Pours black and tastes like....well, chocolate. I look forward to this every year. Aroma reminds me of the Tootsie Pop chocolate sucker. You know, chocolate on chocolate.

Tastes like liquified devil’s food cake. A chocolate lover’s dream. Make sure you take this one at face value. CHOKLAT!

Dark brown pour with little to no head. Lots of chocolate, roasted malt, and a little coffee in the nose. Flavor is chocolate, slightly sweet then bitter malts, and a little vanilla.

Pours dark brown with a mocha head. It smells like a chocolate milkshake! Tastes much the same of bittersweet chocolate milk. This was a great desert!

22oz. Deep pour that is a bit more translucent than other imp stouts. Nose is fresh, light chocolate and cocoa. Body is quite smooth, vanilla, hot chocolate, espresso. There is a ton of chocolate all over this beer, more than any thing else i’ve found. It still runs against that water-chocolate flavor that i find rather unappealing, but this is better than any other of this ’style’. Interesting, worth a try and respectable.
