Mar 7, 2009 I guess the best description for this is yummy. Strong hints of chocolate molasses, caramel, (perhaps some hint of vanilla) with a wonderful malty taste. The very high ABV is very well hidden and expect to take a nap after this is done. This may be the 1st ST product I have tried. the high ratings for this style (one of my favorites) is right on.

Mar 7, 2009 22oz bottle. Been wanting to try this one for a while. Appearance is opaque black with a medium, creamy tan head. Aroma of roasted malts with sweet chocolate and toffee. The flavor starts sweet with warming alcohol, molasses, caramel, chocolate, and some light roast. Super creamy on the tongue and medium thickness. Finishes with some moderate carbonation and hop bitterness. Another great selection from Southern Tier’s Blackwater series.

Feb 25, 2009 Bottle, bought @ Ølbutikken, Cph.
Pours utterly black with a fine, small, creamy, cappucino head. Medium duration. Aroma is sweet, lots of chocolate and the oats are rather apparent. Some stingy alcohol hits my nose with some prune-like fruitiness. Low carbonation, super creamy mouthfeel. Flavour is sweet, lightly roasted. There is lots of goodness in here. Chocolate abound, liqourice peeps through, hops add bitterness and dryness. The alcohol might be just a tad too apparent, and warms nicely. The oats is apparent in the mouthfeel as well as a fine, lingering, sweet aftertaste of oats, chocolate and coffee. This is one of ST’s nicer offerings.

Feb 23, 2009 Bonus from Jabic. A delicious chewy oat and smooth stout. A touch of bittersweet chocolate on the back end. The Oat is incredible here and typical for these guys and their ingredient heavy offerings, ie creme brulee and choklat. A prunish molasses sort of aroma that does not flow through too well to the flavor. As it warms I am getting a bit more of a fruity flavor though as it warms. Pretty complex and enjoyable.
