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.

Bottle. Aroma of some dark fruit, some roasted malt, and vanilla. The flavor is pleasant; mixture of all the above mentioned and some caramel malt.

500ml bottle. Dark brown hue with a finger width of quickly dissipating beige head. Mild cookie nose. Medium sweet and smooth. Good session brew despite the juice. Mildly lively with roasty cocoa notes and bready malts. Touch of caramel. Easy drinking with good malt palate. Spot on with slick alcohol notes. Oily and sticky. Vanilla notes mixed in with a slight bitterness. Nice and quaffable.

Pours tar black with thick, lasting tan head. Not too strong of an aroma. A little sweetness, yeast and eastern european smells - I can best describe this smell as an exotic staleness. Thick consistency, buttery and a little oily. Flavor is rye bread, roasted malt, vanilla. Vodka-like alcohol flavors come through. Sweet cherry flavors as it warms. Dark chocolate bitterness in the finish.

Too strong, too sweet, rude tasteю Since Baltica Brewery has a vary big production thay drop quality very low. Baltica-6 is not so good now as 10 years ago.

Dark brown with a wonderful brown head, good lacing. Aroma is a delicious strawberry and vanilla. Taste doesn’t measure up. Light hops and faint charcoal, with an abrupt finish.

16.9 oz. bottle. Chocolate dominates the flavor, which also features coffee and raisin scents. Pours a near black, very dark brown with an amber hue and a large amount of thick tan head. Produces extensive lacing. Burnt malt taste. Very sweet; much too sweet for my tastes. Chocolate flavor. Alcohol taste present. A little bland. A touch of dirt-like tang. Long, sweet, odd aftertaste. Medium in body. Oily, soft, and sharp in the palate. Easy to drink. Thie beer does not seem to me to be well made. Not my thing.

This is a great beer that exemplifies the Baltic style porter. I buy this beer over and over again. I do agree that this is a full beer and might be a little heavy for mowing the lawn; however, this will undoubtedly keep you warm through the winter. I get a black, very full body, with a toasty, malty, chocolaty, tastes. A definite malt character that is reminiscent of "Whoppers" chocolate malt balls. A lightly sweet beer with little hop aroma and medium bitterness back end. The alcohol is there (7%) but not too forward. DRINK IT!
