A thanks to the Czar of the Kvass kick, woodychandler, for this beer. Poured from a large, brown plastic bottle. Has a black color with no head at all. Smell is of raisins, some dark bread. Taste is kind of mild, raisins, light tartness and breads. Feels medium/light bodied in the mouth and overall is not bad, but I won't be needing another.

All of a sudden, the Kvass Kick is back up and running, Kamarades! There were three (3) of us who were hardcore for a while ( @TMoney , @NeroFiddled & @woodychandler ) until @UCLABrewN84 raised the question as to whether Kvass was worthy of or even merited inclusion. 8=( The wind left my sails as the debate protracted & I simply moved on. Time has borne me out & Kvass has a solid place on this site! Happy happy joy joy! Which brings me to my current, renewed interest. I took some Kvass to a monthly bottle share last Saturday & while it was not wildly received, it was still pooh-poohed by some attendees! 8={} I ALREADY fought in this battle & won! Now, I am simply drinking the fruits of my success in advance of today's visit from @tone77 who will get halvsies of everything yesterday & today.
From the Bottle: "москвас Боцковой".
I unscrewed the plastic cap from the plastic bottle (!) 8=( & began a slow C-Line pour into my awaiting Saint-Petersburg souvenir glass, procured a few weeks ago at Otterbein Church's monthly Attic Treasures rummage sale. It was still another still Kvass, evincing no carbonation nor producing any head. Fine by me as I charged my glass up to the rim! More for me. Whoa! The color on this one was Very Dark Brown to Black/Opaque (SRM = > 34, < 44), allowing cola highlights to be perceived only at the edges. Nose had an odd treacle-like sharpness, more towards the smell of proofing rye bread dough. Mmm. I am SO hungry for Eastern European treats right now … I may pay a visit to the European Market over the bridge in the near future! Mouthfeel was about average for the style - not as thin as some, but still kind of watery. Again, would we dun soda pop for being thin & watery? It is along those lines that I am proceeding. I liked the taste of this one! It had the sharpness of treacle, the sweetness of raisins, the bready doughiness of rye bread, all intermingling to make something a bit more approachable for a Westerner than their Classic(al) Kvass. I tasted the echoes of Classic(al) in this one, but the flavors were less pronounced. I am not convinced that this is exactly the one for me, but I could see having it with some kulich on Easter Sunday.
FYI, kulich is a sort of raisin bread that is baked in a coffee can (!), frosted with white icing & blessed by a priest before consumption. Fortunately, as Bro. Woody of The Order of Disorder, I am able to fulfill that role without interrupting breakfast!
Finish was semi-dry & I say that only because it was not sweet. Instead, it had a light sharpness that lingered well past the finish & had me smacking my lips involuntarily.
One last thing, as an inveterate punster - I LOVE the brand name! Moscow is "Москва" in Cyrillic while Kvass is "Квас" so they simply merged the two words to get "москвас" ! Ha.
