Mar 26, 2009 Black in colour with a thin tan coloured head, light lacing. The aroma is very intense, the sweetness is overpowering, loads of vanilla, icing sugar and even some marshmallows. The flavour is very sweet, overpowering, intense vanilla with lots of caramel, lots of sugar with only some alcohol. Very sweet mouthfeel, medium/large body, moderate carbonation. Finishes long, huge caramel sweetness and vanilla.
Holy crap. This was easily the most overpowering and sweet beer that I have ever had. Insane, what happened to these new Southern Tier beers?
650ml bottle from Roland and Russell imports.
Opened on October 13, 2008.
Brewed in 2008.

Mar 26, 2009 Bomber.
Strange brew, indeed. Small offwhite head thats short lived. An almost black colored brew ceptin for the slight ruby red glow goin on. Nose is laced with caramel, lots! Vanilla and faint coffee roast. Body is med/full, silky on the palate with a soft carbonation and somewhat chalky. Lotsa vanilla, caramel, hazelnut, coffeeish, sweet malts, coconut, Impy Stout?? Got me, cant find it! Sweet,all the above in the friggin finish. Not disgusting but damn close i think?? Hmmmmmmm.

Mar 25, 2009 The Vanilla of Choklat. So nice and rich and smooth. A lot of alcohol present but it doesn’t bother me. A bit hot but all the sweetness really takes over. A lot of vanilla, like an adult vanilla milk shake. Like a spiked vanilla candy martini beer.

Mar 22, 2009 Black pour with no head. Very distinct vanilla nose with some caramel. Tastes very much like a Worther’s Original candy. Smooth finish. Almost not like a beer, as with the rest of the Blackwater Series.

Mar 21, 2009 This was amazing. One of the most unique beers I’ve had recently. Imaginative, unique and impressive. Had this at my wedding reception and again when I returned to Ohio. Heavy vanilla aroma with milk chocolate undertones. Gorgeous dark brown color with creamy nitro-like head that sticks around. Flavor is chocolate, coffee (hints), toffee, carmel, and vanilla. Literally, it tastes like someone poured stout over a creme brulee and served it to me. In fact, if you’ve never had creme brulee, don’t even bother rating this until you’ve had it so you can properly rate the uniqueness of the beer. Well done Southern TIer.

Mar 14, 2009 Pours dark brown with a tan/off white head. Smells of caramel, chococlate, cocoa, lots of vanilla. Tastes sweet and chococlatey with lots of vanilla and spiciness. Not my thing, but decent.

Mar 11, 2009 Updated: Mar 12, 2009Pour is dark brown with a thin tan head. Aroma and taste are similarly ridiculous. Lots of caramel, butterscotch, lactose, over the top sweet malt. It’s hard to tell this is even a beer. Mouth is smooth and creamy. This is the 2nd ST brew that I really didn’t care for. And this one was really bad. I was probably good for 6oz. and that was all.

Mar 8, 2009 Updated: Mar 10, 2009Great good god, another overwhelming pretentious Impy. Nose must be pulled rom glass and then it assaults you with a tsunami of vailla and wet slimy oakiness. Creamy? Clotted cream and margarine tones followed by vomitouriously sweet malts lead up to a lingering burnt finish. Not sure iof they are attempting to over impress me or kill me. Thin head dissipates expediously on top of the deep deep brown. Very little light gets thru the glass. Droopy consistent lacing. I finished half the bomber and poured the rest. Enough is enough. After thinking about this trainwreck I had to re rate and lower my score.
