Santorini Black

Bottle at home. Pours a clear dark brown colour with small light beige head. Nice roasted aroma with coffee, dark chocolate, cocoa and dark wood. Pretty sweet flavour but still some roasted malt. Some rye bread. Light and sliky mouth feel, and has a light bitterness. Nice aroma but the flavour didn�t follow up.

Jeg ante ikke at der er et bryggeri på vakre Santorini før jeg fikk denne flasken av Odd Gunnar. Flott skum legger seg dannet ned til gardinfilm. Den bebudede aroma og smak av "exotic hops, fragrant Santorini honey and citrus medica" strever jeg med å finne, men det er allikevel et helt drikkbart øl både mht munnfylde, smak og ettersmak. Dog uten noe hveteølpreg som "black wheat Greek lager" hinter til.

Svart farge med lys beige, høyt skum som limer seg til glasset etterhvert som du drikker. Lukter karamell og hint av kaffe. Ganske mye kullsyre, men ganske flat ettersmak.

33 cl. bottle @ home. Top of the neck says “Greece debt free” which leads me to this website: http://www.greecedebtfree.org/ Everything is politics these days, maybe everything has always been politics. I am not really sure about what their cause is from the website, it doesn’t seem like a bad one. It also has one of the weirdest caps ever, reminds me of the cover of “The 13th Floor Elevators”. Anyway, the beer pours a very dark brown, blackish colour with a fading beige head. Smells of a coffee-filter, grains, hazelnut coffee, dark malts, wheat & lager yeast. Sweetish taste, coffee filter, thick hazelnut coffee, light roast, some grains, bit watery, wheat, lager yeast & lager profile, light caramel. Slightly watery body, lager profile. Still it is not from a beer country, taste interesting, is enjoyable & is actually not a pale lager. Commands respect, I quite liked it. Bottle says lava rock filtered black wheat Greek lager. It is made with only ingredients where they are from and with hone (although honestly I am getting no honey here). It Thx!

Bottle [from trade with Douberd] @ home. A bit murky brown color, medium to full sized, decently lasting, slightly lacing beige head. Aroma has wheat, lightly caramel, dried fruits. Taste wheat, caramel, lightly iron, dried fruits, raisin, leaves. Medium body and carbonation. Not bad at all.

[Thanks to fugitive]. Bottled. Dark brown with a medium white head. Aroma is light toasty with hints of smoke and licorice. Flavous is toasty, light coffee, slightly smoky. The final is slightly bittery and watery.

33cl bottle. Pours like a coffee with red tints at the side - there is a decent crema head. The nose has liquorice and molasses and spiced biscuits. The taste has more spiced biscuits and liquorice again. The palate is medium bodied with a a medium sized tangy and a decent finish - not cloying but on the other hand it just disappears. Overall, a much better beer than the blonde.
