Baltika 6 Porter

Bottle as shown. Pours a very dark brown with a small light tan head. The aroma is roasted malt and toffee. Decent lacing on the glass. The taste is roasted malt, chocolate, and licorice with a easy finish. A good porter from Baltika.

A- Upon first look this brew is a deep black, when held up to the light a dark maroon color is seen. Semi-thick brown head which fades quickly leaving little to no lacing S- Coffee, Sweet Dark fruits... I could swear I smell a hint of grapes. T- Starts with very little taste finishes strong. Coffee, strange semi sweet fruit taste that doesnt sit very well. M- very little carbonation, fairly thick. D- I find this one hard to drink. It doesn’t taste particularly strong but just rubs me the wrong way mouthfeel and taste wise.

bottle. Clear black colour, medium-size creamy beige head. Aroma of roasted malt. Full-bodied, sweet and malty with flavours of roasetd malt and caramel. Well-balanced, not too sweet, well rounded with a bitter-sweet and lingering finish.

Best by 24.05.07...oops. Served at cellar temp, it pours black with ruby highlights and a loose, frothy, beige head. On the nose are chocolate and dark roast with fruity wine-like undertones. Light to medium-bodied and almost creamy with a roasted, moderately bitter finish that includes a touch of alcohol warmth. Sweet, chocolaty, roasted malt with a noticeable hop bitterness blending into the roasted finish. It lingers sweet and roasty with notes of burnt sugar and bittering hops. Perhaps, it’s a tad sweeter than I might prefer, but it is a tasty brew. At less than $2 for a 500 ml bottle, it’s also quite a bargain.

Black with a decent sized tan head. Aroma of toasted malt and sugar. Flavor is sweet and malty with lots of toasted malt character, some coffee. Very little hop presence. Not bad, but a touch thin.

at home bottle GLRBF 300308. Blindtest Thanks Anna & FatPhil color:dark brown bit fizzy and bubbles non-transparent Scent: sweet roasted malts Taste:first full of flavors then bit watery, sticky,gravy Guess:from Belgium and +6% Needs re-rate!!

Pours a pitch black with a sandy big head, which lasts medium-long. Lacing is outstanding however. Smells sweet, brown sugar, soy sauce, alcohol. Taste is a little too sweet for me, chocolate, cheap pancake syrup, right up the same Soviet alley as the other beers I’ve tried recently. Cloying and unenjoyable, with a bottle this large, the negative effect is rammed down my throat with successive swigs. I think I will stop at Baltika #6.
