Okocim Porter

Brewed by Carlsberg Polska
Style: Baltic Porter
Warszawa, Poland

I am surprised I haven’t come across this before. Considering the amount of ratings for the Porter over the "every day, everywhere" OK beer and all. Well, well to do my Polski mates. Co to jest? Is a damn good porter seen. Jak? Lots of sweet malts, chocolate, tobacco, serious molasses, roasted flavour and some dark fruits. It’s good like that Milka Milchen Chocolade and Raisons/HAsselnuss bar after a few. Thanks for the larger bottle. It’s cloyingly good and I’m glad it hasn’t ended.

500ml. Poured into mug. Pour is deep brown with small tan head. Aromas of roasted malt, sweet rasins, and a hint of caramel. Flavor is overall sweet for a porter. Alcohol is hidden very well. Great porter for the price.

Bottle. Pours a brown body with a tan head. Light chocolate, molasses, candi sugars, and some dark fruity esters. Good porter esp for the price.

Pours deep brown with a tall chunky greyish tan head that lasts as long as you want it to and leaves specks of lacing. Aroma is Oddly heavy on dark fruits, chocolate, coffee, roast and a little char. Flavor is sweet chocolate truffel, burnt sugar, caramel, char, a hint of smoke and a pretty heavy dose of dried fruit, namely white raisins. Finish is sweet somewhat chocolatey, a little roast, coffee and a hint of hops. Body is medium and sticky with a nice alcohol warmth.

brown, bubbly head, some lacing. nose of coffe, sweet malt. flavor seemd pretty vinous to me, grapey. i may have detected some coffee, but i could not be sure since the grapiness may have overwhelmed by tasebuds. medium bodied, sweet finish. mostly vinous, pretty disappointing.

bottle thanks to daknole. black pour with a thin cream head. aroma of fruits and chocolate. decent on the palate with a heavy fruit flavor with a chocolate finish.

I love porters and was pumped to try this one. Poured dark but not as dark as many other porters. Quickly diminishing tan head. The flavor of this one did not do it for me. It had more of a horrid burnt taste rather than the roasty chocolate taste of a good porter. The finish was that of a burnt skunk. I am gonna have to say this was a major dissapointment. Not a bad beer in all but for a porter it sucked.

Pours a clear, deep brown color with a nice brown head. Aromas of milk chocolate, burnt sugar, maple, caramel, and some faint whiffs of alcohol. Flavor is similar with additions of vanilla extract, molasses, and lots of malt. Mouthfeel is medium to heavy. Aftertaste is a bit offsetting- slight dry and metallic.
