Okocim Mocne Premium Malt Liquor
Browar Okocim S.A. (Carlsberg)

Five GBP for four cans from the local corner shop. Pours with a good head. Bubbles in head quite big and it lasts quite a long time. Nice but lumpy lacing. Golden coloured.

Not much of an aroma. Maybe a touch of lemon, vanilla and almonds (hopefully no cyanide) but it is so trace, it could be wishful thinking.

Taste is not too carbonated. Quite malty and not your lightest of malts. I can detect esters in there somewhere which is a surprise. Yeasty burst going up the nose on the swallow, together with quite an acidic aftertaste in the back of the throat. Moderate bitterness. Little upfront hop-wise. A bit of a thick mouthfeel, more mucous than rich. At 7% alcohol, it does not have a burn and is deceptive.

I would not drink this lager for a refreshing taste. It’s not really a winter warmer and it is not something to savour. It’s a get drunk quick lager as far as I can see. But at five quid for four cans, it’s a cheap way to get drunk quickly. I’ve consumed ¾ of a can and I can really tell.

Please drink responsibly ;-)

 

 

Surprisingly light with a kick that hits your balls about 30 seconds after the first half a glass in a curious way,. Another wtf, lack of overwhelming CO2 which is a pleasant surprise.
Had this beer a few years ago and this is a significant improvement to the manufacturing/brewing process for this brewery. New can with OKOCIM vertical design on a 500ml tin is a winner.
This brew was purchased and tested in Canada.

Purchased at the LCBO for just under $3.00 for a 500ml can. Served at 4deg C in a draught glass.

A- Opens well and pours a good white head that films out in a minute or two. Dark gold and clear

S- Lost of malt as expected.

T- Malty good. Don't understand the okay rating. This beer has a malty good backbone that shines right through spicy dishes. Has the hops. Caramel.

M- Dry and creamy which is nice. Enjoyably good

O- Like this beer a lot. Good go to beer for one as the alcohol is hidden well and has a lot considering the serving size.

Food Pairing

This wonderful malty beer went well with....... Spicy Pad Thai. A touch extra hot sauce then the lime is there for citrus while this beer is right there going well all the way

Enjoy

 

Pours a clear golden yellow with 2 inches of medium white head that did not last. Not much carbonation even at first. Little lacing.

The aroma seems very steely to me. Steel and grassy hops.

A base of buttery brown sugar from the malt. Perhaps there is some corn syrup in here. Again steely grassy hops.

A medium to light feel. Not crisp like you would hope for in a lager. No carbonation feel at all.

This has more malt flavour than you get with lagers. I like malt but this one doesn't really come together very well.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This pours a clear, golden-yellow color with some initial foaming but poor to no foam retention. There’s a honeyed, malty-sweet aroma. Rice? Corn? Some cereal malt hints nip at the edges. The flavor has a rounded crispiness to it. Lacking any hop flavor or aroma, although there’s a mild bite on the flavor. Warms with some mild harshness masquerading as sharpness. At 7% it’s surprisingly strong for such a thin-bodied brew. Everything that I expected, although that doesn’t mean I’ll go out of my way to have it again.

Reviewed from tasting notes.

I bought this one in a moment of "try something new at random" whimsy. I have only myself to blame... It poured out a lighter pee yellow with a three finger flash head that was gone in thirty seconds, leaving only minimal tendrils of lacing behind. Thinner body with aggressive carbonation.

Smells and tastes of cooked corn, green apples, and a touch of musty graininess with a little touch of solvent alcohol. Yup, it's a malt liquor all right. However, it does merit mentioning that the harsh alcohol burn seen in a typical malt liquor is actually somewhat restrained in this brew. It's there, just not right up in front of everything like usual.

The photo on this one seemed closest. My can had "malt liquor" but no Mocne, but the rest of the can label looks pretty much the same. Also the abv is the same.
Golden drink with a big full white head. Very clear.
Adjunct quality to the aroma in the cheap corn european sort of way. Not a whole lot going on. Slightly sweet and a bit watery.
More of a malt character in drink-even with a slightly toasted grain flavor. Also hints of alcohol, but not hot or overbearing. Good crisp finish eases the drinking of what could be a dangerous drink. Very mild hop flavor. Also a slight tartness. Clean.
Moderately light body and carbonated at regular lager level.
A largely inoffensive drink that goes down easily and maybe dangerously so.
