mistersinalin (367), St. Paul, Minnesota, USA Nov 27, 2007 Updated: Dec 30, 2007This is a really nice porter for the price. A perfect winter brew to sip on a cold night. Lots of roasty carmel and chocolate malt flavor. KDorgan12 (163), Memphis, Tennessee, USA Nov 27, 2007 Bottle-Memphis. Ink Black collor with shallow dark tan head. Full malt flavor but somehow finishes crisp. Subtle but apparent hop aroma and a bitterness that balances the malt perfectly! piscator34 (1121), Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada Nov 22, 2007 Near black in colour with medium-to-high carbonation. Aromas of lightly roasted malts, caramel, and a bit of molasses. Malt forward in the mouth (as expected), but with a surprising amount of caramel. A touch of fruit and toffee as well, along with some black chocolate. The snappy finish makes for a fairly drinkable pint. Pretty good. SaintMatty (1195), Tallinn, Estonia Nov 18, 2007 Updated: Mar 29, 2009Dark brown, almost black in colour with a tan head. Vinous, slightly spicy aroma with some chocolate. Slightly sour taste with chocolate and raisins. Excellent. doublebock (196), USA Nov 16, 2007 Black color pungent high alcohol burnt aroma. Palate is very chewy. Taste is nice smoky malt and raisins. High alcohol yet smooth hops on the back of the tonge raphael (410), Portland, Oregon, USA Nov 13, 2007 strong roast and licorice (bottle at the smokey Gooskis in Pittsburgh). solid head, dark & opaque (dark bar). flavor of mollases, licorice, mild cardboard, a little smoke. crisp finish mmmbeer (737), Austin, Texas, USA Nov 12, 2007 From bottle- poured black as midnight with a thick bubbly head, aroma of darken roasted malts, chocolate, and a hint of sugar. Very nice light brown lacing head. Hits the mouth with a thick heavy malt, many notes of roastedness, coffee, toffee. Finish is lacking for a strong porter, but the alcohol is very well hidden. Beerpagners run from it, but everyone should love this. Aside from the #4, one of their best products. timfoolery (482), California, USA Nov 11, 2007 Updated: Nov 25, 2007Baltika hits your palate with the tastes of malts, dark sugars, and chocolate. A very strong porter by comparison, this brew is a full of flavor, but some are muddled by the combination.
