A traditional dark beer based on old recipes. "Baltika" brews this beer with the best dark and light malts with the addition of superior hop types and a special strain of yeast. Crystal-clear water and the secret touch of "Baltika"'s brewers make this a beer of unsurpassable quality.

Pours an opaque dark brown with a substantial light brown head that stays forever. Aroma is molassas and dry red wine. Taste is very interesting. I get an initial metallic taste that is not unpleasant, followed by dried dark fruit, bitter chocolate and a sweet mapleness. Some burnt malt bitterness after the swallow as well as some mild alcohol warmth. Pretty decent Eastern Europe porter.

Bottle. Dark color, nearly black but clear. Large billowy, brown head. Complex malty aroma, semi grainy, some alcohol, touch of chocolate and soap? A rich yet clean flavor profile. Resembles a schwarzbier for me. Kind of lager like, but very complex. Lighter than expected body. Low carbonatin. Good.

I’m pretty sure I bought this bottle for $1.99, so that alone is worth a few points in the rating... black pour and generous foamy tan head, though it doesn’t last very long. Roasty coffee/caramel aromas with hint of chocolate. More of the same on the palate with a little bit of hops kicking in. A little sweet, perhaps, but a very solid beer. Definitely a good deal.

Dark and rich. A note of coffee plays nicely with its little cousin burnt toast. A bit hoppy towards the end, but the aftertaste comes in with just bread and alcohol.

Poured into a nonic. Color is as close to black as it can get while still being visibly brown. Strong light evidences this by revealing umber hues at the bottom of the glass. The one finger head dissipates rather quickly, leaving no lace. Aroma is strongly chocolaty, with a hint of alcohol. There’s also a little bit of sweetened coffee. Taste is a let down after the nice aroma. Roasty cold coffee with maybe a smidgeon of bitter chocolate and metallicness. I’m surprised I don’t taste any alcohol here because there really isn’t much for it to hide behind. Mouthfeel is a little overcarbonated, but very clean and dry. Body is too thin for a baltic porter. This is pretty easy to drink but it’s not a great beer.

Dark brown with a light brown head. First Russian beer I’ve had. Great flavor with a uniques aftertaste.

Dark heavy porter with almost sickly sweet malt and low carbonation but the finish is smooth and deceptively easy to drink for such a strong alcohol content. Good beer.

Demi-litre bottle. Poured boot polish black with a thick, fast dissipating head. Little lacing. Full aroma of carames. malt and candy. Medium malty body with medium mouth and a light malty finish. Tastes lower in alcohol than it is.
