Black Boss Porter 9.4%

Brewed by BOSS Browar Witnica
Style: Baltic Porter
Witnica, Poland

Pours dark toffee-brown with a thick, fine-textured head. Sweet aromas have a definitely fruity slant that separates this from the majority of porters. In the mouth, this is sweetly chocolatey upfront, then it thins and dries out in the midpalate and finish. The net effect is a reduction in the impressiveness/impact of the beer but also an increase in the drinkability.

Bottle@home Apperance: Very black with a nice brown lace. Beautiful. Aroma: Raisins, Molasses, Bitter chocolate, Ripe fruit. Flavor: Espresso, Ripe fruit, Chocolate, Roasted grain, Caramel. Palate: Very smooth and quite thin liquid makes this an easy drink. Very little carbonation. This brew is just dangerously drinkable for a 9.4% ABV porter. It’s been sitting in my beerpantry for about a year and it has improved quite a bit. It feels alot smoother now. I could easily have a few of these in one evening. Recommended!

Pours a dark opaque black colour with a huge tan head. Aroma is sweet, entcing, noticeable alcohol but lots of nutty character. Palate is rich, dark fruits and burnt toast. Awesome brew.

Deep dark brown coloured body with ruby highlights and a deep dense tan head - perfect for the style! Aroma of a good baltic - meaty, mushroomy, caramel, roasted malt, coffee and a touch of chocolate show very well. Medium-bodied; Strong roasted malt flavours with a good backbone of chocolate and the strong savoury flavours come out as well - with some subtle alcohol near the end. Aftertaste shows some complexity with a tiny bit of spice, caramel and mostly mild tastes. Overall, a damn good baltic, rivaling even Zywiec, also from Poland. When I first saw this one, I wanted to try it, and I’m definitely glad I did! Perhaps this aged nicely in the bottle, but I really liked this and would recommend it to anyone! I sampled this 500 mL bottle purchased about two years ago from Whole Foods in Portland (Downtown), Oregon, drunk on 05-August-2008.

Really enjoyed this beer...alcohol was very hidden. Pretty fragrant, with raisin, other dark fruit, and chocolate making their way into the nose. Mahogany with hints of crimson around the edges and a small ring for a head. Flavor is somewhat sugary and sweet but also exhibits chocolate, vanilla, caramel and toffee. Tasty. A little thin but I could drink a ton...then again, the 9.4% might put me in my place.

500ml bottle, poured black with thin head. choclate malt with dar fruit. kinda strange for a porter. flavor has choclate, bread, and some fruit. like a choclate muffin maybe? some slight cofee nots in the smopoth thick finish. different, but good

Poured from the bottle a dark brown with a beige head. Aroma is chocolate with some breadiness with a silght hint of dark fruit. Flavor is a sweet coffee with a touch of chocolate.

As the name indicates, this beer poured a nice thick black with a thin tan head. There was chocolate, alcohol, and maybe some sour cherries in the aroma, as well as some breadiness as is breathed a bit. The flavor had lots of chocolate and coffee with a slight creaminess. The malt body balanced the alcohol. It finished smooth. This was a great beer for the price ($2.80 for 500ml bottle) and a good beer regardless of price.
