OKOCIM PORTER BETTER THAN GUINNESS STOUT?

Does anyone agree that cold Okocim Porter beats Guinness Stout hands down for refreshing flavour, robustness, body and overall enjoyment, not to mention price?

It's sort of like comparing apples and oranges.
IMHO there is a huge difference between Polish Porter and British Stout. First of all, Polish Porter (as opposed to British Porter) is a lager (yeast-wise) and British Stout is an ale so therefore it is an entirely different category of beer. Second of all, Porter gets it's darkness from using darker malts, and Stout uses roasted malts .

Third of all, if you are tasting beers such as Stouts and Porters, that means you have an above average sense of taste, so keep on tasting, keep on experimenting, keep on rocking my friend. Good luck to you.

There is a very big difference in a pint of Guinness sold in Ireland, than one sold in another country there is just no comparison..any other stout or porter is just a poor imitation :)

I totally agree with you on that!
When I was in Ireland the Guinness tasted 10 times better than what they give us here in America.
The same with Heinekin I cant stand it, but when I was in Amsterdam it was delicous?

Beers or lagers on main land Europe are much better than Uk beers too....probably stronger, and don't have the laws that we have in this country...that tells us, what ingredients the brewers , can or cannot, put into their brewing process

Stout, such as Guinness, was a British innovation in brewing although it has become a much stronger tradition in Ireland (Guinness, Murphy's, etc.) rather than Britain (Mackeson's...) I don't know much about Polish Porter, although I did try one that was a bit like trying to drink tar. It wasn't Okocim.

I have tried a Polish porter (Black Boss Porter) last year, will never go back to regular beer. Guiness does nothing for me as it has low %. I have not tried Okocim porter, but I did try Zywiec porter, but to me Black Boss porter is still king, although many disagree with me on that. To me it's like drinking chocolate milk that makes you feel good. Hopefully they will start making it again?

(Black Boss Porter)


Is awesome!! I've mentioned here before, but nobody's ever heard of. Nice to see someone else with a fantastic taste for porter.
