Baltika 4 Originalnoe (Original)

Brewed by Baltika Brewery (Baltic Beverages Holding - Carlsberg)
Style: Dunkel
St. Petersburg, Russia

Bottle. Good white head on a dark brown beer. Strong caramel aroma, slightly sweet. Sweet flavor with a background of caramel and burnt malt. Could use a little more hops. It is a decent dark beer, a dunkel-type lager, I would guess. Not too different from the Austrian dunkels. Decent tasting, medium heavy body, pretty nice, though could be stronger in flavor.

Pours a very dark amber - caramel and malty aroma - sweet on the palate - I enjoyed this beer but it is nothing extraordinary

Aroma of bread, caramel and chocolate. Appearance was brown-red with creamy head that was ever present. Flavor of sweet caramel, chocolate and brown sugar. Palate was creamy. Rather good.

Bottle. Looks good with a reddish copper pour and a creamy beige head that lasts well but unfortunately its not all good news about this beer. The aroma is mainly of sweet malt and caramel and the flavour is pretty much the same but with what tastes like an additional heaping of sugar. Mouthfeel manages to be both thin and sticky at the same time. Quite light for a dunkel, this beer is drinkable but you want to be in the mood for something sweet.

pours amber, golden head. Aroma is grainy with a barnyard/rye nose and caramel. Flavor, bready malty, plenty of dark sugar and light dark fruits. Hint so hops, but overall profile remains strong in caramel and rye. Tasty!

Bottle. Nut brown color, fluffy head. Nice aroma- nutty, malty, fresh. Flavor a bit like a doppelbock at first, but waters out quickly and fades into an odd bitterness. Just ok.

I don’t know. While it had beer characteristics, it just reminded me of bad whiskey.

Bottle. Pours an amber brune body with an off white head. Malty with notes of caramel, a bread y body with some light dried fruit notes. A sweet but lightly metallic finish. Eh.
