About
Artisanal, unpasteurized NISSOS beers are brewed and bottled in small quantities. They are made from finest quality malts, aromatic hops and carefully selected yeast in a slow, traditional, all-natural brewing and fermentation process. NISSOS beers are full of exciting flavors and alluring aromas! They contain absolutely no preservatives or additives and are naturally carbonated.

The Cyclades Microbrewery on Tinos was started from zero in 2012, in the midst of Greece’s financial crisis by Alexandros and Maya. Instead of acting as a deterrent, the crisis actually spurred us into action, for we were convinced that the bleak domestic beer landscape was symptomatic of the country’s woes.

0,33 l bottle from a supermarket at Rethymno, Crete. Cloudy ruby in the glass, small pale beige head. Sweet cherry on the nose, some malt, belgian yeast, brown sugar. Taste starts malty, little bit dry, sugar sweetness. More carbonation than expected.

33cl fles in Ano Syros. Amberbruine kleur, beige kraag. Standaard Dubbel, bruine suiker, kandijsuiker, donker fruit, iets gebrand. Lichte body. OK, maar mist op alle vlakken iets om er positief uit te springen.

Optisch blickdicht schwarz. Die hellbraune, feinporige Schaumkrone macht einen cremigen, stabilen und langlebigen Eindruck. In der Nase machen sich kräftige Röstmalznoten von dunkler Schokolade, Kaffee, sowie eine leichte Likörnote (Kirsche, Rotwein) und etwas Rauch breit. Der Antrunk kommt weichrezent und breit röstig malzig, süßlich-herb. Es präsentiert sich ein voller Körper mit sehr feiner, weicher Rezenz, einer cremigen Textur, leichter Wärme, zarter Süße und guter Trockenheit. Geschmacklich und aromatisch dominieren selbstverständlich die schokoladigen bis kaffeeartigen, leicht rauchigen Malznoten. Ebenso die leicht fruchig-likörigen Noten, die an Rotweinlikör erinnern. Einer leichten Süße stellt sich eine präsente Röstmalzherbe gegenüber und hält das durchaus voluminöse Geschehen gut zusammen. So entsteht eine ganz angenehme und passende Harmonie für ein richtig interessantes Schmankerl. Im Nachtrunk halten die Röstmalznoten sehr gut und lange an, der leicht fruchtig-likörige Anklang kommt ebenfalls nochmals auf, bevor die ganze Sache in einem leicht herbem Hauch von Schoko-Likör-Praline lange ausklingt. Mein Fazit: Eigentlich ein Bier für Winterabende vor dem Kamin. Dazu ein gutes Buch, ein paar Stück dunkle Schokolade, Schokokuchen, eine Zigarre, Pfeife oder unaromatisierten Schnupftabak.
