A thanks to the Czar of the Kvass kick, woodychandler, for this beer. Poured from a large, brown plastic bottle. Has an iced tea color with no head at all. Smell is full of sugar, some breads. Taste is the same as the aroma, the sugar level is a bit overpowering. Feels light bodied in the mouth and overall it ain't horrible, but this level of sweetness can be tough to deal with.

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.
From the Bottle: "Монастырский Квас".
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 REALLY sweet, almost candy-like in its sugariness. Whee! Here we go. Mouthfeel was downright watery. The taste was like ersatz chocolate in candy. 8=p Have you ever had chocolate-flavored Turkish Taffy or chocolate-flavored Laffy Taffy? This tasted like the same artificial flavor had been used! 8=p This might be "Monastic", but I'm looking for the trademark symbol because I am sure that this did not come out of any self-respecting monastery! Gah. Phew. I'm stopping with one glass & leaving the rest to @tone77 to do with as he pleases. Finish was super-sweet & now I am feeling a sugar headache coming on. 8=(
