2.6 Butelka 0,5 litra. Barwa rubinowa, klarowna. Jasno beżowa piana, redukująca się w bardzo szybkim tempie. Bez śladów. Aromat to skórka chleba, alkohol. W smaku puste i wodniste.

2.7 Pours dark amber with a two finger, tan head. Aroma is caramel and metallic notes. Taste is thin caramel, light brown sugar, moving to metallic and roast. Finish is roast, but carries a metallic aftertaste. A OK dunkel.

2.9 Ciemnobursztynowe, klarowne piwo z niezłą pianą. W aromacie dominuje słodki karmel. W smaku dosyć słodkie, karmelowe, posmak przypieczonej skórki chleba. Finisz lekko wytrawny. Można wypić

3.3 Brown with glints of red sweet caramel dominates easy drinking dark lager. Bottle at home

2.8 Bursztynowe, klarowne piwo o średniej pianie, która zdobi szkło i pozostaje do końca w formie mgiełki na powierzchni. Aromat i smak słodki, karmelowy. Goryczka niska. Ogólnie całkiem pijalne piwo, ale trochę za mało wyraziste.

3.1 Robe ambrée sombre/brun clair, limpide, mousse presque nulle, carbo faible. Nez bien malté, douceâtre. Bouche assez sucrée, maltée et caramélisée, mais pas trop. Douceâtre, comme une double en plus légère, avec un côté légèrement plus grillé. Agréable.

2.6 500ml Flasche. Klar und bernsteinfarben mit minimaler Schaumkrone. Malzig. Leicht herb. Leichter Körper.

2.8 Bottiglia. Il gusto al naso propende per l'orzo tostato. L'intensità olfattiva è normale e il modo in cui permane è sufficiente. Il cappello di schiuma color marrone chiaro resiste abbastanza. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. Il liquido è di aspetto velato. Poche bollicine fini costituiscono la forma della frizzantezza. Il colore è marrone scuro. Il corpo è medio. L'amaro è non invasivo. La forza gustativa è normale e la durata è sufficiente. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di birra beverina. Il retrogusto è di decente intensità. In bocca l'aroma è quello di caramello, miele, pane e cereali.

3.3 Приятный темный лагер без острых отрицательных вкусовых ощущений. Пиво достаточно питкое. Чувствуется сильное карамельно-солодовое послевкусие. Одно из лучших пивасов от имени Балтика. Советую попробовать.

3.1 Butelka 500ml. Ladny, klarowny mahoniowy kolor. Piana kremowa, srednia o drobnych pecherzach,opada dosc powoli. Duzo karmelu i palonego cukru zarowno w aromacie jak i smaku. Na drugim planie skorki chlebowe,pieczywo razowe,suszone czerwone owoce.wysycenie srednie do malego.

4.2 From Decervecitas. In Bavaria hefe glass. At dinner, with nuggets + turkey steaks + york ham with cheese sandwich. Dunkelweizen wheaty remimiscences. Nice sweetness, good dose of compensating bitterness and amazing feel and drinkability. At level of their #6

3.0 500 ml bottle @home,bb 27/01/2018. Red with brown tint,clear. Beige head,vanishing quickly. Strong caramel aroma.Caramel,bread taste. Quite sweet.

3.0 Slightly lighter than cola colour. Creamy little off-white head. Aroma is caramel and bread. Taste is quite bready with toasted malt. Moderately dry finish.

3.1 Bottle from Billa in Moscow. Clear bronze pour. Tall frothy ivory-coloured head. Good retention. The aroma is massive sweet caramel, bread, dried fruit, a metallic hint that fades away in a couple of minutes. Light to medium body. The taste is luckily drier than the aroma would promise. Dark malts, brown bread, dried pears. Light finishing bitterness. Fairly drinkable stuff.

2.5 Clear and brown with a cola like fizzy head. Aroma and flavour have loads of caramel sweetness. Overall it’s far too sweet.

1.7 Sweet and malty aroma. Some toffee notes. Taste is slightly sweet and round. Malts. Light crispness.

3.2 15.89 oz. bottle. Pour was clear copper, foamy off white head. Aroma was caramel, bready. Taste was mild sweet, malty, caramel, faint chocolate.

3.2 Copper color. Malty aroma, caramel, bread, a touch of spiciness. Flavor is sweet and malty, some tart notes. A little bit spicy. A touch of roast. It’s quite good for a macro lager I’ve never heard of. Good not great.

2.2 Dunkelbraun im Glas mit cremefarbener Schaumkrone. Röstig Malziger Antrunk, süsslicher Körper, der nicht vollmundig wirkt aber gut würzig ist, Karamellnoten stark betont. Hopfenextraktnoten im Abgang sind nicht so besonders.

2.6 Dunkel tmavy de 5,6 % abv, en format 50 cl, provenant de St Petersbourg, avec du malt cara de seigle et des extraits de malt d’orge et de blé. Mon exemplaire était exactement à sa date, à 4 jours près (ce qui pour une 4 originale, est fort à propos …). La bouteille est joliment gravée, ce qui ne présage en rien de ce que l’on va trouver dedans .. Couleur auburn caramel, à la clarté nette. Bulles fines, partout, vives. Mousse brun clair, à flocons fins, stable à 2 mm. Arômes de malt cara, prune, caramel, pointe de figue. 1ère bouche douce, soyeuse, avec une bonne prise de bouche sur malt et caramel, un peu artificiel certes. Arrière-bouche avec une petite impression de bière au riz. 2ème bouche d’une grande douceur, à l’ensemble correct malt/caramel. Arrière-bouche douce, longue, avec une pointe de seigle. 3ème où on retrouve le caramel un peu artificiel et une pointe métallique, mais l’ensemble est plaisant. La longueur n’offrira rien d’autre, mais restera agréable. Jambes fines, longues. Alcool correct pour le genre, mais on ne peut lui demander l’impossible !! Finale dans la ligne. CONCLUSION : je suis content de trouver une dunkel/tmavy qui passe la moitié du score .. et pour ma 1ère bière de Russie, c’est une vraie fête ...

3.0 500 mL bottle shared by ebone1988 for the stupid book. The pour is a dark ruby copper color with a thicker light tan head and a lack of lace as it falls to a small bubbly ring. The aroma is very malty and full of caramel there is a little bitterness to it. It’s interesting. The flavor is definitely sharp and malty. A light caramel and a sharpness to it really ties it together. This is a bit messy, but it’s not terrible. The mouth feel is a little light and surprisingly carbonated with a lingeringly bitter caramel aftertaste. It’s not terrible, I suppose.
