A thanks to the Czar of the Kvass kick, woodychandler, for this beer. I am hesitant to open the bottle, as I have tried two beers from this "brewer" already, and they both sucked. Poured fro a large, clear plastic bottle. Has a dark brown color with no head at all. Smell is sweet and bready. Taste is, wow, I never tasted anything so sweet. Light bread is present but this is all about the sugar, and lots of it. Feels light and super sweet in the mouth and overall I could only finish a few ounces of this. Strike three Chersi, you are out, and I never want one of your "products" in my presence again!

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: "Хлебный 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. Their Monastic Kvass was one of the worst, evar! Far too sweet for me & wildly removed from traditional Kvass. I am now hoping for the best, but girding for the worst. Color was Brown to Dark Brown (SRM = > 22, < 27) with NE-quality clarity & cola highlights. Nose was not bad, sort of a caramel-like sweetness, but at least it was not cloying. Mouthfeel was thin, but not outright watery. The taste was very sweet! Too sweet for this style. I can only imagine what it might be like to follow a Moskvas Classic(al) or a Barrel Kvass with one of these! The taste was very much of caramel, but that is not what I expect in the style. Finish continued to be super sweet, although more palatable than their previous offering. Once again, the remainder goes to @tone77 to do with as he sees fit. 8=P
