Commercial Description:
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.
The ingredients are water, caramel malt and burnt roasted malt, maltose syrup and hops. 17°

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.

Fairly weak head, faded quickly. Very malty body with clean finish and a smooth, semi-sweet and chocolately flavor. Not bitter enough. Didn’t impress me much.
