Okocim Mistrzowski Porter (EN)

Beer Type:

Baltic Porter

ABV:

9,6%

Taste:

Mistrzowski Porter is an excellent example of a Baltic Porter. It owes its unique character to a longer maturation period than in the case of bright beer, and a composition of several types of malt, including Munich, caramel, and roasted malts. It has a velvety, noble, and rich flavour with aromas of oak barrel, coffee, and chocolate. The beer also delights with its deep colour and creamy foam. This is a truly masterful porter, multi-award-winning, including Golden Beer Poland 2013 and a gold medal at the European Beer Star 2015 in Nuremberg. Mistrzowski Porter is brewed using the bottom-fermentation method. The alcohol content is 9.6%, bitterness is 38 IBU, and the extract is 22%. The ideal serving temperature is 12 degrees Celsius. Mistrzowski Porter is poured into pokal-type glasses.

History:

At the foundation of Okocim beer lie: a passion for brewing, the experience of brewers, and the 180-year history of the Okocim Brewery in Brzesko. The history of Okocim beer and the brand dates back to 1845, when Jan Ewangelista Goetz founded a brewery in Okocim – now one of the oldest in Poland. Jan Goetz was one of the most prominent personalities in the brewing world of the time, not only a brewer and entrepreneur but also an active local social activist and philanthropist. In his brewery, he used only the best barley malt, hops, high-quality yeast, and water, guided by the principle of "the best of the best." This was his motto, which also guides contemporary Okocim brewers.
