A thanks to the Czar of the Kvass kick, woodychandler, for this beer. Poured from a large clear plastic bottle. Has an iced tea color with no head at all. Smell is surprisingly of chocolate. Taste is of mild chocolate, but not sweet, little else is to be found. Feels light bodied in the mouth and overall is a below average beer.

All of a sudden, the Kvass Kick is back up an 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 tomorrow's visit from @tone77 who will get halvsies of everything from yesterday & today. Now, as I begin to close in on the end of this feat, the nomenclature changes as does the locale. This came from Lithuania (!), where Kvass is known as "Gira".
From the Bottle: "Sodžiaus Gira"
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. Color was Brown to Dark Brown (SRM = > 22, < 27) with NE-quality clarity & cola highlights. Nose was kind of an oddball - sweetish, but not anything on which I could place my finger. That might be a nice change-up following that last Okroshka Kvass. Mouthfeel was thin without being downright watery, about on par for the style. The taste was like Chersi's chocolate-flavored taffy, but nowhere near as strong. Thank goodness for small favors, I suppose. Still, this was outside of the accepted boundaries for the style. I drank enough of it to get a good sense of it, but the remainder goes to @tone77 for his disposal, whether drinking, sharing or drain pouring. Finish remained sweet, but not so sweet as to give me a headache. Again, small favors …
