Jun 4, 2006 A shade or two from completely black. Light rays of red shine through as it’s held up to the light. Large tan fluffy head doesn’t hang around for too long but leaves thicky fluffy lacing down the glass.
Very sweet smell. Pretty basic porter smell... some rich sweet caramel and chocolately goodness.
Almost over-the-top sweet taste. Pretty much the same as the smell. There’s a slight metallic taste in the finish though. It’s not terrific but certainly not bad. This is an enjoyable beer.

May 19, 2008 Pours a deep reddish black with a thick creamy tan head. Aroma is bready and biscuity, very chewy. Taste is completely different, very malty sweet, roasted grains, chocolate, and dark fruit sweetness. Much thicker body than I thought it would be. Finishes with a touch of malty sweetness, fruit. Really nice, but the aroma was my only problem.

Apr 9, 2008 Bottle thanks to beastiefan2k. Pours black with a thick and foamy head that goes down slowly. The aroma is roasted malts and some sweet brown sugar. The taste is pretty good; sweet molasses and brown sugar, some roasted malts, and a nice alcohol burn. For 7% this is really quite warm. Overall, I liked it. It is a smooth and sweet porter.

Nov 11, 2007 Updated: Nov 25, 2007Baltika hits your palate with the tastes of malts, dark sugars, and chocolate. A very strong porter by comparison, this brew is a full of flavor, but some are muddled by the combination.
