0.5 l bottle, thanks Eve R! Slightly hazy very dark brown color with small head. Sweet malt extract aromawith dark rye bread. Sweet bread and malt extract flavor with rye, nuts, dark sugar and raisins. Cloying. Tastes like malt extract, not beer.

Bottle. This malt beverage is not real kvass. In real kvass must be some % of alcohol (0,5-0,8 %). When I was little boy, my father brewed homemade beer and sweety malt extract with water was so good. And this beverage is malt extract with water, not beer, not kvass. My points are only for good times in childhood.

500ml bottle.
Dear Knut - this is a kvass. Big malt-loaf aroma, even down to the raisins. Sweet and a bit watery, but pretty refreshing. Taste follows the aroma. Of course it’s a little sticky, but what did you expect from a kvass? It’s pretty good as kvass goes too.

You should give them credit for trying to make a porter without alcohol, I suppose, so it gets top marks for apperance. But this was a ghastly beer. Horribly sweet. You can feel there is an attempt to make an initation of a porter here, but it has not worked out. Have a kvass instead!
