Baltika 6 Porter

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

Pours a very dark brown with hardly a head. Aroma is of roasted malts and a little bit of coffee and dark fruits. Flavor is very sweet almost of a dunkel rather than a porter.

Bottle. Aroma of some dark fruit, some roasted malt, and vanilla. The flavor is pleasant; mixture of all the above mentioned and some caramel malt.

Dark brown appearance with a vinous, dark fruit aroma. Smooth, sweet malt taste that compliments the medium-to-full bodied mouthfeel. I think this beer would surprise a lot of people if it was compared to other Baltic porters in a blind taste test.

Dark, with sweet and smoky aroma. Flavor is richly sweet, with liquorice and plums. Really nice.

Very dark brown clear with large rocky island tan head. Light floral nectar, honey, roasted malt, and fainter fruit, caramel and coffee aromas. Nice light sweet caramel roasted toffee flavours at start. The overall palate is perhaps on the too thin/weak side for a porter. The burnt roasted flavours are also "too burnt" verging on the acrid. A touch more bitter would alleviate a palate balance problems for what is essentially quiet a pleasant beer.

Pretty good Porter! Dark black color moderate brown head. Aroma wasn't terribly aromatic, but what was there was coffeeish, mocha. Body was cream and fairly thick for a Porter. Sweet finish. This baltic style porter wasn't as salty and tart as many I've had(two traits that aren't that appealing to me). I liked it!

poured a blackish bown hue with s thick tan head, no retention. Really cream and modrate roast presence. swwet cholate and honey notes. real smooth.
