Gift from SJ. AHH, my first beer from RUSSIA!
Full dark brown pour with a beautiful tan head. Nose of liquorice, roasted malts and mild nut. Bold roasted malt taste , liqourice and dry dark chocolates. A dry nutty finish with a medium body. GOOD!

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.

Smoky aroma has a strong tone of molasses, as well as a woody hint, and a fair amount of sweetness. It pours a deep opaque sable with a thick tan head that vanishes rather quickly. Flavor has tones of smoked wood, coffee and molasses. Body is on the thin side, and the fizz is only slight, so it is more like soda pop than beer. Still, an acceptable porter.

(on bottle)A sent of rotten bark of ash (the tree) and some roast. Not in a bad way, though. Noce violet/black color and a surprisingly weak taste. This most be the taste of original porter. No coffee, no liqurce and allmost no bitterness; easy drinkalble.

Very dark brown with a nice slight brown head. The taste is coffee and roasted malt. Nicely balanced though slight bitter finish.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Pours black with an off white head. Aroma is sweet malt, a bit of raisin, and smoke. Flavor is rich caramel malt, a bit of smoke and raisin with a lightly bitter finish. Best Baltika I’ve had.
3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Nice beer! Interesting sort of holiday spice aromas. Poured with a nice light tan head and plenty of lace. Opaque. A little bittersweet at first and then a pleasant long sweet finish. Soft mouth. A shade roasty. LIke I said, nice beer. Had this bottle at the Bodega Brew Pub downtown La Crosse Wisconsin USA.
