Much better than the other Okocim I’d had.
An absolutely gorgeous pour - brown and ruby with a tiny brown head. Slight aroma of red wine mixed with the maltiness. Sadly, this is way too sweet for my taste (I know, it’s a porter) with a chocolate and alcohol tinge. Smooth, decent, but not worth getting too excited over.

Aug 19, 2008 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.

Aug 17, 2008 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.

Aug 17, 2008 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

Aug 15, 2008 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.

Aug 11, 2008 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.
