Okocim Porter

Strong porter, heavy malts, very sweet. Followed by a strong bite of alcohol. The polish people love to taste the burn. This is a rich end of the night desert, it is really hard to follow. Save it for a cold night or a blind.

Poured out black, but looked more dark brown when held to light. Had a beige colored head left some good lacing around the glass. Smell was sweet, maybe had some chocolate and a slight roastiness, but it seemed a bit weak. Taste starts of with mostly caramel and a touch of toffee, a little bit roasty before the finish, then the sweet caramel comes back to join in. Medium bodied and medium carbonation. This was certainly different than I was expecting, but was still enjoyable. The place I got the bottle didn’t seem to have very good conditions, so maybe this one is even better when taken care of.

Very dark brown beer with a minimal tan head. Aroma is sweet and roasty. Flavor is sweet, with roasted malt, dried fruit, and dark chocolate. Finish is roasted malt and alcohol warmth. Sweet for a porter, but nice nonetheless.

Baltics aren’t really my thing... now that that’s out of the way. Pours a thick brown, with minimal head, but nice lacing. Aroma is burnt sugar. Flavors are sweet and malty, with little to no hops. This is sweeter than I prefer a porter to be. The finish on this beer is nice, as is the texture. I prefer the roasted nutty flavors of standard porter, over the "clean" flavors the lager yeast gives this beer.

Roasty and very sweet. Nice and creamy. Seems to be very consistent. Bottle or tap and each bottle I have is the same. Almost milky, smooth. A nice bite of alcohol but is hidden well by rich body and full flavor. Some lingering burnt coffee but is still sweet.
