Bottle as shown. Pours a very dark brown with a small light tan head. The aroma is roasted malt and toffee. Decent lacing on the glass. The taste is roasted malt, chocolate, and licorice with a easy finish. A good porter from Baltika.

DiarmaidBHK (1392) - Pennsylvania, USA - AUG 19, 2011
Pours black from bottle with a couple of inches of khaki foam. Nice roasted quality to the aroma. Kind of a thin mouthfeel. Definite caramel malt on the tongue. Finish lingers a bit after you swallow. Nice example of style.

Reid (1385) - Salem,Oregon, Oregon, USA - MAR 7, 2004
Comes in a very attractive 500ml bottle, nice packaging. Quite a handsome beer to look at deepest ,darkest garnet..nice tan head..that goes quite fast..leaves beautiful lacing down the glass. The aroma is mostly of toasted malts..with a nice alcohol undertow. Taste is sweet for a mega second after it hits the tongue..then a nice treacle like semi-bitterness..almost liquorice like..then a different bitter after taste ( hops?)..nice alcohol warming. Very nice in the mouth, invigorating. I found this to be a very drinkable Baltic..my favourite style after all.

Magjayran (1379) - Durham, North Carolina, USA - FEB 14, 2006
From a bottle. Pours a rather attractive black color with a thick and fluffy tan head. Aroma reminds me of artificially sweetened molasses product. Watery start to this beer with a harsh, imitation molasses aftertaste that produces a cringe not unlike my first taste of cough syrup. Looks thick, feels thin. All around nasty.

guzzler67 (1373) - Hanover, Maryland, USA - MAY 9, 2004
Dark brown appearance with a vinous, dark fruit aroma. Smooth, sweet malt taste that compliments the medium-to-full bodied mouthfeel. I think this beer would surprise a lot of people if it was compared to other Baltic porters in a blind taste test.

golubj (1373) - San Mateo, California, USA - MAY 6, 2007
Bottle. Aroma of some dark fruit, some roasted malt, and vanilla. The flavor is pleasant; mixture of all the above mentioned and some caramel malt.
