Okocim Porter

Brewed by Carlsberg Polska
Style: Baltic Porter
Warszawa, Poland

500ml - Aroma of rusty water and roasty chocolate malt. Pours very dark garnet with a big brown creamy head and great lacing. Flavor is creamy chocolate, roasted malts, brown sugar and caramel. Palate is creamy and clean. Pretty tasty but I like my porters to have a little bite.

Bottle. Pours deep brown with a tan head. Caramel and roasted aroma, a bit boozy with fruit and brown sugar. Sweet flavor with chocolate, brown sugar and fruit. Roasted coffee finish. Not bad.

Very flavorful...little funky coffee, little chocolate, tobaccy?, some fruit. Quite the Baltic to be sure. Slightly tinny with questionable balancocity. Overall, it’s forsurevelently wortheth of a try or two or three. It does the job quick. Check it out if you cannont find the Zwiec.

Pours an opaque brown with a medium beige head. Strong aroma and flavour of chocolate, caramel, toast, roasted malts and alcohol. A bit different than other porters I have had. Not in a bad way. Quite sweet, almost overly so, and does it ever get you some drunk if you have more than one. I quite liked this one.

50cl bottle. Thick, dark brown color with a small beige head. Sweet aroma of dried fruit, vanilla, brown sugar, and alcohol. I was pretty down with this guy for the first couple sips. Sweet brown sugar and molasses flavors with a little drying alcohol seemed pretty good. Well, this didn’t last. By the end the sweetness became quite overbearing. About all that I could taste was sugar, without much else. The body is thick; filled with sugar, like syrup which the carbonation fails to cut through. While none of the flavors are particularly offensive, this is a pretty boring sugar-bomb that I could only ever think of maybe splitting with someone else as a dessert sipper

I would love to say that I will def. drink this again, I just don’t know if I can handle it. Intense aroma of chocolate, soy sauce, copper and roast. Flavors of the very same wrapped in an extraordinarily velvety mouthfeel.

500ml bottle from Carytown Wine and Beer, Richmond (RIP). Big oily pour promises the kind of palate that makes me such a fan of this style, though in actuality I found the palate to be on the thinner side, somewhat disappointingly so. But the big malty aroma, heavy on the chocolate, and the slightly lactic flavors balance this one out nicely.

In short: Smooth chocolate cake and roasted coffee beans in a bottle. Highly drinkable for a strong Porter. Good stuff
How: Bottle 500ml,
The look: Black body with a medium beige head with good retention
In long: Aroma of roasted coffee beans and chocolate cake. Taste is floury chocolate cake. Lots of roasted/burnt malts in there but without much flavour. Smooth fluffy melt-in-your-mouth body. Alcohol is somewhat apparent. Taste is somewhat simplistic but the beer is nonetheless quite enjoyable. Quite enjoyable creation from the country that created the Quickly Learn How To Read Book.
