Poured dark amber, with a good head. Very faint aroma of nuts, wish it was more pronounced. Was expecting something bad, but instead the initial taste had a good body, with a solid nut finish, very little bitterness. Another surprise, and I thought Russians were only good for making vodka. A good beer- not great, not bad or average, good.

Nov 26, 2008 Bottle. Poured deep brown with a thick white head. Aroma of fruit, caramel and raisins. Light malt flavour, with bare tinges of malt, and rye. Flat malt finish. Began very well and ended disappointingly

Nov 18, 2008 This is one of those beers with a unique taste I run into every so often. Has a very distinct sweetness to it. I’d try it again, and it is well priced.

Oct 31, 2008 Pours deep amber/brown into a shaker. Offwhite head with medium retention leaves no lacing. Nasty, sour caramel aromas and flavors. Russian.

Oct 31, 2008 Labeled ’’Baltika 4 Dark Lager’’, same color scheme. Am I seeing this right? This is only a 2.98 here? This is actually a great beer! Surprising since it was only $2.29 for a pint at my local Alibaba’s. Rich caramel taste along with honey, malt, maple, decent hops, and brown sugar. The flavor is excellent, and it rates high in less-tangible aspects as well. A huge surprise here. Highly underrated in my opinion. Thanks Baltika.
