Bottle-Memphis. Ink Black collor with shallow dark tan head. Full malt flavor but somehow finishes crisp. Subtle but apparent hop aroma and a bitterness that balances the malt perfectly!

Near black in colour with medium-to-high carbonation. Aromas of lightly roasted malts, caramel, and a bit of molasses. Malt forward in the mouth (as expected), but with a surprising amount of caramel. A touch of fruit and toffee as well, along with some black chocolate. The snappy finish makes for a fairly drinkable pint. Pretty good.

UPDATED: MAR 29, 2009 Dark brown, almost black in colour with a tan head. Vinous, slightly spicy aroma with some chocolate. Slightly sour taste with chocolate and raisins. Excellent.

Black color pungent high alcohol burnt aroma. Palate is very chewy. Taste is nice smoky malt and raisins. High alcohol yet smooth hops on the back of the tonge

strong roast and licorice (bottle at the smokey Gooskis in Pittsburgh). solid head, dark & opaque (dark bar). flavor of mollases, licorice, mild cardboard, a little smoke. crisp finish

From bottle- poured black as midnight with a thick bubbly head, aroma of darken roasted malts, chocolate, and a hint of sugar. Very nice light brown lacing head. Hits the mouth with a thick heavy malt, many notes of roastedness, coffee, toffee. Finish is lacking for a strong porter, but the alcohol is very well hidden. Beerpagners run from it, but everyone should love this. Aside from the #4, one of their best products.

UPDATED: NOV 25, 2007 Baltika 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.

Bottle. Pours a dark brown black with a tall frothy beige head. Nose is light but malty. With chocolate, dried fruits, and dough. Lightly bitter chocolate is the first flavor with raisins, malt, grain, and molasses. A smooth creaminess balances out the dry bitterness. Decent baltic porter.
