Okocim Karmi Black

33 cl bottle. Amber/brown color, small head. Sweet, roasted aroma, some nuts and brown sugar. Flavor from burnt sugar, roasted and quite sweet.

500ml can (Carrefour, Warsaw)
Very deep red, brief beige head. Vague roast aroma, a bit like a czech dark lager. Very sweet, artificially so, palate. It’s heavily doped with caramel. Having said that, it’s rather pleasant. Some burntness and light hopping accompany the caramel. Finish is burnt and roasty, and of course caramelly. Very easy to drink but I almost feel guilty giving it 2.7, as it’s a bit of a joke.

Canned. Very dark beer with nice creamy head. Bready, caramel aroma. Flavor is malty, some caramel or light coffee sidetones. Like kvas, but impressive.

Can 500 ml
Appearance: dark brown with pleasant amber red sides. Large frothy, creamy beige head. Sparse lace. 4-
Nose: Light mineral front , dark rye bready with sweet finish of caramel. 6-.
Flavor/Palate : Light smooth bodied. Bready soft malts. I wish that character was more roasty , bolder this brew could be quiet decent. Reminded me of stronger Kvas with its bready feel.

Nose is caramel and malt, deepest brown, red at the sides, medium toffee head. Taste has a caramel malt mix, some treacle. Light bodied, pleasant sweetness, very drinkable. Good. Thanks for sharing Radek.

New one from Okocim - pours chocolate, with medium, mostly disappearing head. The taste is like a 50/50 mixture of the very good Okocim Palone dunkel and non-alcohol caramel beer-like beverage called Karmi, also by Okocim. Surprisingly, this tastes rather well - it is still very sweet, with rather artificial caramel notes, but it has got more body and slight malt notes. Not bad.
