Okocim Porter

Brewed by Carlsberg Polska
Style: Baltic Porter
Warszawa, Poland

pours a dark, ruby-tinted brown with a fairly thin light tan head that retains well and leaves good enough lace. powdery chocolate nose with notes of notes of port and perhaps dates/cherries, with a dark rum overlay. flavor starts sweetly malty, with pretty chocolate/toffee notes. balance comes from a bit of deeper roast flavors in the finish, along with a little shot of alcohol. porter is both sweet and boozy, definately on the dessert line. pretty good beer, but honestly, kind of one-dimensional.

Sampled at State College BrewExpo. Nice sweet, malty nose, dripping with caramel and coffee, chocolate and molasses. Dark brown-black with thin tan head. Medium to heavy body, somewhat oily, with mild to medium carbonation. Thick tasting, with dark roasty malts, caramel, vanilla, chocolate, and coffee. Medium tangy bitterness in the finish. Sweet, almost cloying, with Tootsie Roll after. Nice porter.

Dark brown with a big brown head. Aroma of roasted malt, chocolate and some fruit. Flavor of dark chocolate, roasted malt, a little fruit and alcohol.

Bottle sampled with Stegosaurus. Pours dark with a tan head. Aroma of citrus, fruit, roast, and nuts. Flavor is citrus, chocolate, fruit, who couldn’t love a good baltic porter.

(bottle from kramer17801)brown body with lots of red highlights.creamy white head that left some lacing.i could smell roasted malt,some coffee,and ans sweet chocolate.flavor did the aroma justice and even added some cocoa,and brown sugar.very nice indeed.

Good looking dark brown body with ruby tinges, tan coloured head which lasted well and left some decent lacing. Aroma is a little laid back, mainly malt, some burnt caramel. Alcohol warmth on the taste which was quite pleasant, grainy, chocolate, a hint of liquorice with a chalky texture and a medium to full body.

[bottle] Dark brownish black color- nice sticky tan head. Aroma is mostly sweet caramel, with some substantial alcohol. Flavors are quite nice- dark, roasted malts, some cherry/prunes. Dark chocolate and alcohol come through in the finish.

A dark brown, nearly black color with orange/red highlights. Strong and very sweet molasses aroma... with elements of coffee, chocolate, malt. There was some distinct aspect to the aroma that I could not distinguish... just a strange pungent sweetness--maybe the alcohol. Flavors were similar to the aroma...but with some added nuttiness and hints of dark roasted grains, caramel, and dried fruits. Pretty complex and overwhelming, really great. First "Baltic Porter" I’ve ever had.
