If you think that black beer is heavy and high in alcohol volume, thus not of your taste, our Porter is about to change your mind. Askianos is a delicate beer with intense notes of chocolate & coffee. Pair it with vanilla ice cream, dark chocolate or grilled meat.

Bottle at Zero, Kos. Nicely roasty with coffee, some mocha, espresso, dark chocolate. Fairly bitter with a little touch of cold coffee sourness. Fine Porter I'd say.

Bottle shared with Laura at some local bar in Crete, Greece. Dark brown to black color, average to decent sized tan / mocha head. Aroma is malts, lightly iron, but also a light sourish or tangy touch which shouldn't be there imo. Maybe a little oxidated or a slight infection in the brew. Not sure but it's not good now that's for sure.

Top notch 7% baltic porter. Very lager like. Crisp, dry, mild bitterness. But rich and a lot of good flavours. Tales of Ales Athens
