Okocim Karmi Classic

Brewed by Carlsberg Polska
Style: Low Alcohol
Warszawa, Poland

Brown colour with an off white mostly diminishing head. Heavy caramel aroma with hints of toffee. Not as sweet tasting as one should expect.

Very dark brown that shows a clear ruby when held to light. The head is tinted light brown and has a nice fluff to it. The aroma reminds me of old carpeting. There is also a little caramel and some light cardboard. The taste is disgustingly, cloying sweet. Easily the sweetest low alcohol I have ever tried. This is almost like a cola with a hint of vanilla and stale caramel. Pretty bad, even for the style.

Bottled, clear 400ml. </br> Deep crimson colour with a persistent, excitable off-white head. Smoky, caramel malt aroma. Sweet as you like. Strawberry, toffee, honey, lolly flavour. Not me at all. Presents well on most front but for me tastes pretty sh*t.

Bottled. Ok, so this is a coca-cola beer. Why make 0,5% ABV versions of various cola drinks, when the "original" are for sale?

Crimson brown with a nice rocky head. Very prominate scent of rye bread. There the good notes stop. The flavor of this was sugary-soda, as if an over-sweet root beer was mixed with just a hint of dark beer. This may not have much alcohol in it, but it will rot your teeth!

Bottle: Pours a dark brown hue with reddish highlight that produced a fizzy tannnish head and some lace. The aroma has a note of caramel and pale malt, grainy and floral hops, dusty esters, a hint of walnut and at dash of DMS. The taste starts malty sweet but quickly fades to a cardboardy and yucky finish. Some bitters try to revive my taste buds but are too late. The feel is a chalky and bland mess. It wasn’t till I had finish over half of this beer and went to rate it that I found out it was a L.A. beer, doesn’t matter. It could be 11% ABV and that aftertaste would still make me gag. AVOID.

An NA dunkel from Poland? Hmmm... Let’s investigate. It’s a clear, dark brown color with a slender white head - oops, halo - and little carbonation. The aroma is more cola than caramel. The watery brew tastes sugary, syrupy, without any real flavor other than a generic "sweet." The aftertaste reminds me of when I was a kid and my Mom washed my mouth out with soap (a very rare occurance). I need a drink of something else REAL quick.

(on bottle)I really don´t see why this beer is rated so low; untill the very last finish hits the palate. It has a very nice clear, brown color and a lastin white head. Very good carbonation and a complex taste with malts, cane sugar, dades and molasses. But the finish, ladies and gentlmen; is one of the worst I´ve ever had. Like eating a piece of soap; a yurkyy, acidic and very unplesant feeling lives a burp, a barf and a drain more on the list...
