Boss Beer from Poland

Boss Kozlak Bock 500ml
This is someplace between a standard bock and a double bock beer. Cloudy, dark brown in color, this beer pours with a thin head. The aroma is sweet with tones of molasses, toast and caramel. The flavor is very malty with nut, caramel, cocoa, and toasted marshmallows. Its character is smooth with a medium body. It is on the sweeter side of the style but have a complexity and unique character.


Boss Black Porter 500ml

Now this is my kind of beer. This Polish Baltic porter style beer is BIG, malty and tasty. It pours dark brown to black; it has a shiny tan head and sweet malty aroma. The flavor is roasty, coffee, and a hint of molasses. The 9.4% is not uncommon for this style of beer. I was a real big fan of the Zywiec porter and since I can no longer get it this one is a perfectly comparable substitute.


Boss Beer 500ml

This is one of the best large lagers (higher in alcohol) I ever had. At 8% it packs a respectable punch without tasting like it. It pours straw golden with a good head that settles into a thin layer. The flavor is malty without being too sweet. Its floral hop character provides great aroma and flavor with a light bitterness. The alcohol does have a slight spicy tone to it but only accentuates the flavor. I don’t drink a lot of lagers but I find myself going back to Boss.
