Black - Stout Beer

Apart from their color, Black Beers have a stronger body and foam less than ordinary beers. They are also creamier, more bitter and heavier in aroma.

A Greek-origin Dark Beer is an ideal start, be it Mandy Black, Chios Smoked Robust Porter, or Νήσος 7 Μποφόρ. Their rich and, at the same time, distinctive character makes them suitable as an introduction to the magical world of Black Beer.

Usually not, but the open-minded consumer will appreciate it, even if they enjoy beer occasionally.

The main aroma and flavour characteristics of Black Beer are related to tobacco, chocolate and coffee. The cornerstone sense of cereals combines perfectly with them, while the botanical dimension of hops comes to beautifully complete the organoleptic “picture”.

Northerner Dark Beers are usually heavier than southern ones. They have a stronger smoky dimension, while their tannins are more noticeable.

Their dark color probably suits the night. Someone would also say that Black Beers are the wintriest of all.

Grilled sausages with cabbage and carrot salad go incredibly well with a strong Aecht Schlenkerla or a Guinness. Νήσος 7 Μποφόρ and Chios Smoked Robust Porter are excellent accompaniments to dishes with mushrooms and caramelized onions or roasted vegetables with pork marinated in balsamic vinegar.

In the refrigerator, ie. away from sunlight and at a temperature suitable for consumption. Feel free to leave them in the freezer for a few minutes before enjoying them.

Bulky, standard beer glasses are considered the most suitable. Ideally, the temperature should be slightly below 5°C. Those who like to mix can combine white rum and dark beer, in a ratio of 1:3, adding some cola afterwards.
