Apr 27, 2008 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.

Apr 23, 2008 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.

Apr 22, 2008 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.

Apr 18, 2008 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.

Apr 14, 2008 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.
