This is straight lager laced with an obsceene amount of alchy. I was eating some pringles with this and all I could taste was the alchohol. Its smooth for the most part and not burning. Typical lager with a punch.

Not sure if I’m rating the same beer as everyone else. This one has a red label, and says "#9 Strong Lager". Since I found no others to match. I’ll rate this. I was actually impressed with this beer, much more so than the Baltika #6 Porter. The flavor, while not real recognizable, was smooth and left a good finish. If this really is the same beer, it was a far cry above the Schlitz (Bull) Malt Liquor I drank as a kid, and I must say I actually enjoyed this beer.

Well, it’s not Old English, but that much better either. I mean, I at least find it tolerable, but alcoholic and thin in flavor. Not impressive, Baltika’s hefe is a much better rendition of the respective style.

Another skunky Russian beer. No wonder they all drink Vodka. Christ this was a clear golden brew with an inch of white foam.

Tap at the Leipziger Bierbörse. Clear light golden pour with a lacing, short white head. Smells strongly of pale malts and alcohol. Taste is crisp, sweet, and alcoholic. Mild chalky coating. Medium body with a trace of oil, mild bitterish finish. A little herby medicinalness. To me, this was more of a European Strong Lager than a malt likka... And tsk tsk to all of you giving this a 1 for appearance!

16.9 oz bottle into a Pilsner glass. Pours a light golden color with a small orange tint to it. Thin foamy white head that dissipates quickly and sticks to the sides of the glass. Aroma brings to the nose sugary malt and yeast with a hint of citrus. Flavor mainly consists of corn, grass notes, a tiny bit of bitterness in the hops, and moving into the finish comes the sweet malt we smelled on the aroma. You can taste the 8% ABV at times, but it is not very present. Overall, a decent lager, not very exciting, and not very amazing either. Definitely drinkable.
