3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 11/20
ho trovato un alimentari russo aperto da poco in Via Lomellini (proprio allo sbocco in Fossatello, sulla destra venendo dalla Zecca) che ha molte - quasi tutte - le birre della linea Baltika (da 3 a 9 ci son tutte). Sempre per la serie "cacciuei de bira", me le sono portate a casa tutte quante.
Finora ho bevuto la 4 (lager scura, bevibile), la 8 (discreta weizen un po’ dolciastra) e ora sto assaggiando la 6: è una baltic porter piuttosto gustosa; a vedersi è bellissima, sembra inchiostro e ha una schiuma bella scuretta. Forse è un pochino watery ma comunque me ne compiaccio.
3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bought this as part of a Baltika gift pack. Appearance: Pitch black with a very small brown head. Aroma: Sweet & nutty, the tiniest amount of smoke with some caramel and chocolate. Flavour: Decent amount of chocolate up front with smoke, nuts and a lasting coffee finish. Such a surprise, for years I’ve been snubbing the Baltika brews and yet all of them have been pretty good and in fact, this one is great.

Only two dollars at HEB. See through on the sides, but very good porter for price. After taste is sort of weird but very drinkable.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle. Dark with a velvet beige head. Toasted malts, licorice, coffee, cocoa and a little toffee in aroma. Flavour is sweet with brown sugar, some spicyness, a little ripe fruit and a toasted malty bitterness. Quite soft palate.
3.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours almost opaque black with minimal tan head. Aroma is weak, with slight tones of dark fruits. Taste is very sweet and lightly bitter with tones of plum, cherry and some hints of chocolate and coffee. Has a thick feel, creamy, low carbonation with an abrupt finish. Overall it’s a pretty decent beer and it’s cheap. I frequent this one along with the Baltika 4. Cheap, and tasty.
3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pours tar black with a large brown fading head.
Aroma shows lots of sweet malt, chocolate, oats, with a faint hint of vegemite in the background that narrowly avoids being offensive.
More roasted malt and sweet dark chocolate show as flavours, along with loads of sweet caramel.
Very slick and creamy with low carbonation.
