Bottle brown 500 ml, extract of wort ~13%
Nice brown coloured slowly decreasing head. Medium bodied. Nice very dark amber to rubby hue and dark brown boddy. Carbonation is rather mild. Nice but not strong aroma of malts and carmel. Some faint hints of citruses like lemon. Flavour is sweet, because of dark Munich malt and some extra sugar I think. Generally a kind of dessert dunkel. Hop level is not high. Initially seems a bit wattery in its texture but still well balanced. Wery little bitterness of burned malted barley and roastiness but only some hints. Palate is weak and wattery reminding me of previously tasted German DunkelWeizens but having this characteristic and unchangeable mild and gentle aromatic hoppy nose, typical of all Okocim beer styles. Finish is also slightly more bitter and beer sometimes may appear as smooth in texture. sheatripper (863), Brooklyn, New York, USA
| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Feb 18, 2008 500 ml. bottle. Mahogany with a fading almond colored head. Aroma and flavor marked by a deep molasses maltiness. Sweet basically. I wish I could pick up something more (roastiness, hops, etc.) to cut into it, but I’m tasting nothing but malty syrupiness.

Clear deep mahogany color. Light carbonation and medium-heavy bodied. Toffee/caramel nose. Flavor is sweet toffee, hops are in the background - balancing. Clean finish. Another decent beer from Okocim. $2.37 for a 500ml bottle from Liquid Solutions Oregon City, Or.

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Dec 25, 2007 bottle - Pours clear dark brown with a thin tan head. The nose is dark malt and a hint of spice. The flavor is sweet caramel malt and the finish is also rather sweet with just a touch of hops presence. This beer is easy going and a decent quaff, but didn’t strike me as anything special. Cletus (5057), Connecticut, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Dec 21, 2007 Bottle courtesy of dorwart. Pours dark brown with a thin white head. Smells of dark chocolate, caramel, hints of spice. Tastes of sweet chocolate, caramel, some dark fruit. Finish yields fresh sliced apples, some molasses and a hint of bitterness. Not sure why the scores are so low. This is a pretty solid beer. smartlung (154), Valrico, Florida, USA
