Bottled had this on a few occasions in St Petersburg early May 05 and have picked this up from the Russian Supermarket on the Cowley Road, Oxford. Dark brown with a slighlty mucky white head, good aroma of chocolate and roasted notes, with chocolate again present in the flavour but also a little bit sweet. A very decent porter and one of the better of the Baltika stable.

Pours dark brown with an off-white two-finger head. Subtle aroma of coffee, dark chocolate, and alcohol. The same is in the flavor, accompanied by light vanilla, lactose, and hops. Mouthfeel is suitably thin; this is a Porter than knows it’s a Porter. Surprisingly good, considering some of these guys’ other brews.

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.
