Okocim Porter

Name – Okocim Porter
Country – Poland
Type – Baltic Porter

Appearance – Pours a very dark brown that looks black at some angles with a big tan head that did leave some lacing on the glass.

Smell – Very nice malt smell with some roastedness (I believe I made that word up) in the background.  A very small hint of dark fruit.

Taste – Roasted malts, chocolate, buttered toffee, some coffee and this porter is extremely well rounded.

After I had Okocim’s O.K. Beer I was told I had to have their porter.  For many months I looked and could not find it in the store.  Then out of no where it was there.  I grabbed it and eagerly waited to have it.  I was not disappointed.  I put this at the top of my favorite porters list for sure.  I know us of Polish decent are usually the butts of a lot of jokes but it seems we can make so really good brews too.  Na zdrowie!

Overall Grade – A

    Dang, I’m kind of jealous. We only get the OK around here. I hope at the polish festival this year someone orders this. I think I’ll make a suggestion.

    Na zdrowie!

    This is the very first beer I ever took the time to write down notes on. A great beer at a great price.

    This is a great beer, but I cannot find it anymore. Can you even buy it any longer in the USA?

      Thanks for stopping by Jack. I can find it pretty easily at the store by me so it is definitely available in the States.
