| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Apr 9, 2005 The aroma is almost identical to the doppleback I had last night. Must be me. A nice looking reddish colored beer with nice head for a couple of minutes. Flavor is very sweet but pleasant. Seemed to get a little thin late in the bottle. frankenkitty (1903), Oak Lawn, Illinois, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Apr 6, 2005 Here is one of Baltika’s good offerings, from a brewer that is fairly unpredictable. Bottle poured an orangey-brown beer with a fluffy tan head that held on as a thick film. Medium-bodied with soft carbonation. An all-malt aroma with a hint of baked pretzels. Caramel malt flavor with alcohol that, at times, seemed a little sour.

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 2/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Apr 4, 2005 Smells like a porter with caramel, but this "dark" beer is actually red in color. Absolutely no head. Can certainly taste the caramel, from the start to finish. It unfortunately has a heavy, "old" feeling to it though, which drags it down. yayforbeer (648), Orange Park, Florida, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Mar 28, 2005 Auburn brown beer with a creamy head which goes away after a while. Sweet malty aroma. Sweet malty taste with notes of caramel and toffee, with a very light bitterness. Full body. A decent dunkel but perhaps a bit too sweet. egajdzis (3636), Spring Mount, Pennsylvania, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Mar 24, 2005 Poured a reddish, copper color with a medium sized, off white head that light lacing on the glass. Aroma of sickly sweet caramel, subtle roast, but predominantly sweet. Sweet malty taste, caramel and brown sugar. Rather non-descript, sweet, light spices, minimal hops, watery. burgerlicious (308), Indianapolis, Indiana, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Mar 7, 2005 The appearance was perhaps the most attractive part of the beer. It poured an auburn body with a creme-colored, thick, head. The flavor was sweet, with minimum hoppiness. ThomasE (5178), Copenhagen, Denmark
