Well here I am, with a new blog and a new beer. Lets get down to brass tacks, shall we?
It's called Baltika #6, its a Porter, it's Russian and its damn tasty. This bottle in particular was given to me by my gay, non-drinking, German speaking, Cuban co-worker. Having dealt with Soviet communism first hand and having co-habitated with the East Germans many moons ago, I'm sure he thought it odd to see a Russian beer on the shelf and picked it up thinking his beer loving co-worker (me, duh) would be surprised by the thought. As he was soon to learn, I had already heard and read about Baltika beers and was planning on picking one up, coincidentally, the same exact #6 Porter. Still, it was a very nice gesture. Thanks, Twinkle.
As far as porters go, this one is a bit watery, is a touch too sweet, and has, I believe, about 7% abv. It doesnt smell too strong, the head doesn't last and there is no lacing to speak of. With all that said, I like it!
I am not a purist or a perfectionist. I found it to be tasty and the sweetness, and alcohol content, to be subtle enough to not distract from my overall enjoyment. As far as for it being watery, hey, watery-ness can make porters and stouts lighter and easier to drink, think Guinness Draught...
I'm not sure what he paid for this bottle but if it was under $2 then it was a pretty good deal, being a nice 16.9 oz single serve. There are much better porters out there but for those that like the style I think this one can be thoroughly enjoyed.
I find this glass to be 1/2 Full, but not by too much. Of course, your milage may vary.
