Mar 1, 2009 1 pint bottle. Poured a dark brown, nearly black, with a thick, relatively short lived, light brown head. Aroma of brown sugar, hickory, malt, alcohol, and peaches. Smooth mouthfeel with a distinctive coffee bitterness. Accents of brown sugar prevalent with malt, red apple, and peaches subtly hinting. I also get a distinct wheatgrass aftertaste. Truly an interesting Russian porter with more than a few levels of flavor.

Mar 1, 2009 Bottle. Pours a very dark brown with a light two finger tan head that leaves good lacing. Aroma was sweet dark and roasty with chocolate, caramel and coffee. Flavor was moderately sweet with caramel, chocolate, toffee, coffee and a hint of dark fruit with a medium body and has a sweet and lightly bitter finish. Decent porter

ersma: lange gesucht und endlich auf der berliner biermeile gefunden (neben all den anderen nummern).
fast schwarz stehts da, mit viel beige-bräunlichem schaum, der beim gemächlichen sacken etwas grober wird.
süßlicher geruch, röstmalz und etwas kaffee.
der antrunk ist röstmalzig, süßlich und bringt aromen von kaffee und schoko mit. zur mitte kommt hopfen auf und bringt herbe töne mit. der abgang erhält den hopfen, die süßlichen und aromatischen seiten treten aber wieder deutlicher hervor: röstmalz, schoko, kaffee und nuss.
die hauseigene flasche hat einen knick nach innen und dazu eine reliefprägung. schick.
fazit: schönes porter, das man auch in england beheimatet vermuten könnte. lichtblick im baltika-sortiment.
