Old Bobby Ale
Baltika Breweries

Deep amber color, thin white head. The aroma of malt, caramel, and nuts. The taste is malty sweet. Caramel aftertaste with light bitterness.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

An English Ale from Russia... can't say i've seen that before. One of those impulse buys that you regret once the bottle is opened. Twist off cap, slight muted hiss of CO2 escapes. Poured into a large tapered mug, it doesn't seem to generate all that much foam. Body is a brighly clear copper color, a column of ascending bubbles in a column emanating from the base of the glass. Fleeting cap of foam that barely lasts a minute, then dies off completely, leaving zero lace.

Aroma is sweet and musty, reminds me of Muntons canned malt extract syrup.

Soda carbonation and astringency, sweet with some dark bread and nutty malt flavors. Really shouldn't be that sharp, especially if they're going for an English ale. Somewhat generic and sweet flavor profile with a thin bodied and overcarbonated feel to it. Not a beer i'd particularly even finish, let alone buy ever again.
