Strange but true. I was prowling the local liquor store at the behest of my lovely wife, looking for a porter. And there they were, four lovely big bottles of the stuff. And only $2.50 a bottle so I bought them all.
It is true, there are more combinations of beer in heaven and earth than I have dreamed of, and I have tried a LOT of beer. Okocim porter is so malty, so chocolately and so unique because I kept expecting that vinous note from the yeast that I always seem to get from beers like this. I suppose it is the lager yeast used that keeps those tastes at bay. The malt itself was rasiny and chewy. And I gotta say "chewy" as an adjective to describe malt is way overused IMO. Paulaner Salvator malt is not chewy, Yeti Imperial Stout is not chewy - Okocim Porter is CHEWY! It was pretty sweet and I didn't think the 8.3 alcohol was hidden very well, but it was nice and warming and complimentary to that massive rasin malt.
If it stays around, it will definitely become a regular treat.
