Description
Established in 1892 by one of the members of most famous and respectful brewery families of that period, Zenona Anstadta, from the beginning Brewery was valued by the deep taste of polish beer.
In Year 1916 property was acquired by family of Magierkiewicz and stayed under their management till breakout of World War II. Brewery was functioning in times of German occupation providing working space for the local population.
Next owner was family of Blusiewicz, which was running the brewery in years 1947-1951. In the end of 1951 Brewery was nationalized and incorporated into Brewery Department of Lodz. In the brake of 1996 and 1997 family of Blusiewicz reclaimed their rights to Brewery and begun beer production as a family company under the name of Browar Staropolski.Modernization of the Brewery allowed to increase the production power up to 100 thousands hectoliters of beer per year.
The end of XX century was a very successful year for the Brewery and management decided to export their products to USA and UK, where it become very popular among Britons and American Poles. Brewery was sold in 2007 due to the weak strategy in fighting for the consumer on the brewery market, at that time mainly dominated by large corporations. Following years were very difficult for Staropolski Brewery, which resulted in Brewery bankruptcy.
In 2014 Brewery was bought by Dystrybucja Pomorze, private limited company.

500mL bottle, best before March 4, 2026, drunk June 5, 2026. From the cooler.
Not much in the nose. Rich cereal, sweet caramel, honey, maybe a hint of pepper. Worty.
Wildly sweet, worty. Guess they just didn't ferment it. No sign of hops. Slight oxidation. Hard to take more than a few sips.

Cerveza negra opaca, espuma beige de media retención, el aspecto no está mal. Aroma robusto a chocolate puro, café expreso, frutas de Aragón (bombones de chocolate negro rellenos de fruta), regaliz, malta torrefacta. En boca tiene bastante carácter, muy plena, ligeramente oleosa, pan quemado, cacao puro, pasas, café negro...el final es sólidamente amargo, largo, torrefacto y seco, con notas de ceniza. Buena baltic porter, para tomar con calma. Buen pelotazo

0,5 l swing top bottle from kappldav123. Thanks a lot! BB 26.03.2027. A darkest red brown in the glass, huge two finger pale beige head. Looks really good. Intensive roasted malty with dark nuts on the nose. Taste starts roasted malty, increasing dark berry fruity elements. Some choco and coffee, nuts. Low but present bitterness. Nearly creamy texture. Low carbonated. Nice stuff.

Nifty flip top bottle as pictured from chalet for $3. Flip top adds to the initial appearance. Clear pale pour decent thin white somewhat creamy head. Smell is a little like old baltic lager. Date code best before is PO#1475. WTF does that mean? First taste reveals cheaper pale lager, approaches that of the macro american 'ice' lagers of the same approximate ABV. Yes, I think I'm even getting a slight warming sensation on the way down to the gut. hahahh. A little difficult, but no more than those domestic so called ice lagers, heheh. Perhaps, on the finish, some of that processed industrial feel and character in there. Tolerable for what it is. I would like to try this fresh and really cold.

Dark brown beer, low head.
Very creamy aroma. A lot of coffee, toffee, milk chocolate.
Immensely sweet. Full body. Sticky on throat.
Should be far less sweet.

0,5 l swing top bottle from kappldav123. Thanks a lot! BB 04.02.2027. Golden in the glass, nearly clear, one finger white foamy head. Smooth grain, caramel and honey on the nose. Taste starts with present honey sweetness, increasing caramel with honey and malt backbone. Mid carbonated. Little bit scratchy due to the honey in the aftertaste.

Bottle looks simple but really good. Beer in the glass with a nice head. Sweetish-malty aroma. Starts mild, malty, sweet. Herbal honey notes, sweetish background. Finish could be more balanced. Okay...

Bottle looks very simple. Beer in the glass dark brown, small head. Intense roasty-malty aroma, shy smokey touch. Starts intense malty, roasty, stouty. Some earthy hints, some wood. Finish milder, soft-malty. Shy alcohol. Nice!
