Mar 20, 2008 Bottle. Dark color, nearly black but clear. Large billowy, brown head. Complex malty aroma, semi grainy, some alcohol, touch of chocolate and soap? A rich yet clean flavor profile. Resembles a schwarzbier for me. Kind of lager like, but very complex. Lighter than expected body. Low carbonatin. Good.

Nov 23, 2006 Extremely clean nose on this one, with all the aromas blending nicely together. Some light coffee notes, and a mellow alcohol aspect that tickles my nose. Dark fruits notably currents come through too.
Very deep ruby red highlights and brilliant clarity makes this brew pleasing to the eye. A decent level of roast here, along with the warming of the alcohol and a curious tea like hop character that is also noted. The finish is malty/roasty sweet in the flavor. Light-medium in body another smooth drinker. This one I would have to classify as a session Baltic Porter

Aug 29, 2007 Updated: Sep 18, 2007this porter is the best of all the porters we tested from the former Soviet Union countries... rich, smooth, chocolaty and not as syrupy sweet as some of the others from those countries

Apr 14, 2007 This is a great beer that exemplifies the Baltic style porter. I buy this beer over and over again. I do agree that this is a full beer and might be a little heavy for mowing the lawn; however, this will undoubtedly keep you warm through the winter. I get a black, very full body, with a toasty, malty, chocolaty, tastes. A definite malt character that is reminiscent of "Whoppers" chocolate malt balls. A lightly sweet beer with little hop aroma and medium bitterness back end. The alcohol is there (7%) but not too forward. DRINK IT!

Aug 11, 2008 0,5 l bottle, bought at Törökbálint- Cora shops: Russian shop of Arbat. Dark brown body with a small creamy, delicious beige-light brown head. Aroma of coffe, caramel, dark fruits. Smooth mouthfeel, complex flavor with chocolate, roasted malt, coffe, some caramel. Pleasant aftertaste of roasted malt and coffe. Tasty, like it.

Feb 10, 2008 Intense chocolate nose w/molasses. Almost jet-black, long lasting pillow of tan head. Dark caramel sweetness, alcohol cuts nicely...has good balanced bitterness. Roasted malt is just right not too overwhelming. Almost like a lighter Imperial Stout--which makes sense...First try of this style, very impressed...

Apr 7, 2009 Just a really nice porter, can’t say enough good things about what Baltika is doing for Russian beer, great product, nice color, great nose and a very smooth finish, not a really big porter, very easy drinking, great roasted malts and caramel. Great balance for a porter, enjoy with a cigar and an beer magazine on your porch.
