Baltika 6 Porter

Brewed by Baltika Brewery (Baltic Beverages Holding - Carlsberg)
Style: Baltic Porter
St. Petersburg, Russia

Pours black with off-white head. Arouma of dark malts and some prune. Very smooth and creamy body with nice fizzy carbonation (palate is probably the best part of this beer). Roasty malts, licorice and hint of bitter at the end. Surprisingly good and sweet.

Dark pour, almost black, with a thick tan head. Roasted chocolate malt and syrup aroma, reminds me a little of chocolate chip pancakes. Sweet malty flavor. Medium but somewhat chewy body, I’m impressed, I bought this on a whim for $1.99 to rate a Russian beer, far surpassed my expectations.

From a 16 ounce pint bottle given to me as a Hannukah/Xmas/Winter Solstice present from my girlfriend - This one poured a very dark brew with a small, tight bubbled tan tan head of foam and weighty liquid. Tastewise, it has definite raisin and alcohol flavorings over a passing malty coffee base.

Bottle- Deep cola brown with a frothy mocha cap that laces well. Nose of coffee beans, vanilla, dark rum, dark chocolate, a bit of molasses. Tastes pretty sweet, of roasty malts, burnt toast, bittering hops, a bit woody. Has a bit of a metallic edge that detracts from the flavour a bit but thankfully it is only minor. Sweet malty finish, with roasty bitter aftertaste. Overall very good.

Nothing stood out with this but over all good. More bitter than most. Not workth going into any more detail-- got at woodmans as a single.

A black beer with a very small brown head, that disappears very fast. The aroma is sweet with notes of licorice - no smoke, like I’d expect from a Porter. The flavor is mild at first, then a slightly smokey sweetness hits you - then it becomes watery and finally it ends on an OK bitter note.
