Baltika #6 Porter from Pivzavod Baltika / Baltic Beverages Holding
Rating: B+
Appearance: Very dark, opaque, good head, retention and some lacing.
Smell: Roast, coffee, chocolate - very typical porter profile, nothing in the way of smoke.
Taste: Lacks the hint of smokiness I expect in a Baltic porter. Fairly typical profile: coffee, chocolate, roast, hints of fruit & caramel.
Mouthfeel: Medium body, good carbonation.
Drinkability: Wouldn't be bad as an introductory porter, though I yearn for a hint of smokiness... Solid for what it is, though.
Serving type: bottle
