Baltika 6 Porter

lovely fruity and tasty porter. aromas of coffee, vanilla, chocolate, aniseed and a little more spicy. tastes full of roasted malt and hop (citrussy), some coffee and thats it. finishes sourrish and full.

Good looking beer. Pretty tasty, if a litttle light on flavor for a porter. Chocolatey malts, short finish. Not bad at all.

From a 1pt.9oz. narrow neck brown bottle with a short blurb about the porter and a best before date on the back label, 07.06.06. Made a decent appearance, poured a opaque ruby hued dark coffee brown with a foamy tan head that settled into a thin, skim- like foamy lacing, moderate to medium carbonation overall. Had sweet fruity/caramel lightly roasted malt nose. A creamy, smooth light-ish medium bodied mouth feel, above average drinkability. Watery burnt chocolate and caramel malty with a small dose of sweeten milk taste, a watery hop bitterness and a sweet, roasted, fruity malty finish. Like I’ve said about other Baltika beers,average, drinkable, not awful, at a cheap price and for me, that holds true for this porter.

The mouthfeel is a bit thin. It’s a bit fizzy. Aroma of toast and chocolate? Finish is chocolate and a light bitterness. A fruity ester I can’t attribute. It’s not Gonzo, but it’s good.

Aroma displayed a little malt,a little chocolate and some alcohol, head was well formed, as good as I have seen on a n imported porter. Taste was sweet malt a little fruity ester,hop bitterness doesn’t really show, doesnt taste as alcoholic as it smells,nice easy safe Porter

Black. Huge, frothy, tan head. Not much aroma, only a light roastiness. Flavor of a classic porter with some nice anise and bittering hops in the finish. Medium/full, balanced body. Not bad, a steal for $2 a pint bottle.

bottle courtesy of OhioDad, thanks Scott. aroma of coffee and some yeast. dark brown in color with a tan head and fantastic lacing. flavors are coffee, bittersweet chocolate, some caramel and yeast. sort of a dry bitter finish , but overall pretty tastey. palate is quite thin otherwise a pleasant drinkable porter.

Dark brown, and a bit red with a light brown head. This smells great, like vanilla cream, malty, and caramel. Flavour matches the aroma, but is a bit more bitter and watery than expected. Very sweet. Can taste a bit of chocolate lingering on the tongue.
