Baltika #9 Extra (Strong)
2.51 out of 5.00 | Under Par

500 mL bottle with repackaged labelling for a new assault on the US market I guess. Arbor Place, Douglasville, GA, USA, approx. $2.99.

Clean pour, aroma and look, with, as expected, some initial strong lacing and head that fades to nothing very quickly. A lot of corny alcohol in the nose with (happily) no skunk. Alcohol is definitely the main player in the taste too. Cloying sweetness that is close to too much, but is bearable as long as you don’t mind really sweet beers.

Drinkability is not high, 500 mL of this stuff and you’ve had enough. If I had to categorize it, I might call it a this a high class 40 oz malt liquor! Hard drinking, high alcohol lager bomb, with not much to endear it to a BA.
