Baltika 6 Porter

Poured from a bottle. This beer was a disappointment. Didn’t have much aroma and the taste was less intense than what I expect from a Porter. It was actually kind of bland. Had a malty taste, but wasn’t able to detect much in the way of hops. Maybe it was just a bad bottle, so I’ll probably give it another shot at a different time.

Nice deep mahogany body, thin tan head. Warm sweet aroma. Sweet chocolate flavors, with notes of bready yeast, a trace of caramel and licorice. Clean finish. Not as rich and big as expected for a Baltic, but a good beer on it’s own terms.

From an old Cellar’s tasting note sheet.I found my sample of this beer to have a bland aroma but detected hints of raison in the flavor.

Definately unique from most Baltic Porter’s. It has a nice sweet aroma with little hints of earthy esthers. The flavor is nice and pretty well balanced as far as a Porter, but not nearly as big as most Baltics. All in all, very nice

Yeast and more yeast in the aroma. Black in appearance with a thin beige head. Full palate which is nice. Yeasty taste with some roasted malts--but not complex at all.

Bottle courtesy of Hogtownharry: Poured a dark black color porter with a nice foamy head with good retention. Aroma of light roasted malt and chocolate is very pleasant and enjoyable. Taste is nice mix between roasted malt with some bitterness and some semi-sweet chocolate finish. Body is about average with some adequate carbonation. Very nice for the style overall and some thing I wouldn’t mind trying again.

Bought at Marty’s in Allston. They have a great selection of Baltika and Arsenalnoe. Very dark color. Not bitter taste at all, less of a coffee flavor than a regular porter. Very smooth. Quickly fading dark cream colored head.

Alot of yeast in the aroma.Pours black with a tan head.Yeast and roasted malt stand out in the flavor.Medium mouthfeel with a roasted malt finish.
