From bottle, shared by larsga. A layer of tan bubbles over a clear mahogny body. Smell of sweet dark bread and tinned fruits. Some fruity acidity and spices as well. Heavily sweet flavor. More dark bread, sweet cookies too. Also dark dried fruits and a certain acidic fruitiness balancing the sweetness. Oily texture. A very well composed Kvass with super drinkability.

Small beige head. Deep brownish red barely translucent body. Raisiny spicy rye aroma. Dry-sweet rye raisins and cinnamon taste with oily earthy honey notes. Mid-bodied. Mild, soft faintly oily mouthfeel. Dry-sweetish bready roasty earthy rye aftertaste with spicy notes. Excellent, and extremely drinkable, despite the sweetness. (0.33l draft at Snekutis Uzupis, Vilnius.)

Draught, from the owner of Snekutis, thanks big bearded-non-English speaking-lots of Gira drinking mister! :-) Read 0,5% alc. from the menu. Sweet bready aroma, bit of dark fruits. Hazy deep dark brown colour. Ok mouthfeel. ´Sweet dark bready malty flavour, Not so thick and sweet as I thought. Fresh and tasty.

Disclaimer - I *love* real kvasses! Sweet treacly aroma. Even treaclier taste. Cake with raisins and butter. Liquid fruit-loaf. Simply delicious, but very sweet.
