Feb 9, 2009 Bottle. Pours a rusty brown color with a frothy beige head. Moderate carbonation. Aroma is of malt, chocolate, oat, and dark fruit. Smells very earthy. Taste is of malt, caramel, chocolate, dark fruit, and oat. Way too much goddamn oat. Very light mouthfeel. This tastes like the pellets you feed to animals at the petting zoo. Bitter for all the wrong reasons. Yeah, it sucks.

Feb 9, 2009 Reviewed 1/31/2009 (bottle):
Pours a clear reddish brown colored body with an off-white head, big and lasting. Has an aroma of roasted and chocolate notes. A malty grainy nose too. Some strawberry fruitiness too. Fruity grainy roasted taste. Strawberry and some chocolate too, creaminess too. Some hotness. Lagery tasting. Not bad tasting. Somewhat refreshing.

Feb 2, 2009 Appearance: Pours a reddish-brown body with great clarity and a large, expansive, off-white head.
Smell: A bit of an oddball nose, smelling of charred sugar, toasted grains, a Sugar Daddy (the candy, you knuckleheads), and a vague, background fruitiness.
Taste: Bread maltiness coming across as flavors of nutty, burnt sugar and (again) Sugar Daddy candies. Hint of raisin fruitiness. Splash of cola. Indistinct hop character with a light bitterness at first, but, upon warming, it exhibits some spiciness. The finish begins sweet but dries out and has a peculiar aftertaste.
Mouthfeel: Medium-thin body. Medium-plus carbonation.
Drinkability: Not the most elegant, graceful beer around, but it’s a reasonably tasty Eastern Europe brew and one of the standouts in the rogues gallery that is the Baltika line.

Feb 2, 2009 Bottle thanks to my neo-geo.com secret santa Kiselgof. Red with orange hints, a finger of creamy off white head. Nice burnt caramel aroma, chocolate. Taste is the same burnt sugar, chocolate, and a nice caramel finish.

Jan 24, 2009 Kinda of a reddish brown color. This is another one of the Baltika line of surprisingly excellent beers. Hints of a chocolate/coffe beer. All of this brewery beers for some reason I had doubts but all were well above average.
