Taster at DØE, Aarhus Syd, DK. Canned, 150409. Brown with small head. Aroma and flavor is much sweet malt.

No alcohol - a leftover from when beers were banned on Island - Bottle 33 cl. Pours a sparkling deep brown with a dark tanned head. The nose is dominated of brown sugar (kandis), dark rye bread and cinnamon. The taste is very very sweet - like the sweetness found in traditional danish christmasbeers enjoyed to the traditional riceporridge - just sweeter. Its dominated of brown sugar and malts. Is rather uncomplex with a watery palate.

Bottle shared by puzzl. Pours a deep brown slight haze. doughy rye and wheat bagel aroma with an overly sweet cloying malt extract character- almost stale though. Toasty and sweet malts, molasses, brown sugar, and a salty malt oxidation- corny and gritty as well with a slick finish.

Aroma is husky and sweet. Rye malt, toast and a fairly sweet toastiness. Flavour is sweet as well, but with a nice rye flavour. Sweet and grainy with a fairly strong brown sugar character. Nice for what it is.

Shared by puzzl. Pours brown with a sporadic tan head. Aroma is straight up freshly baked rye bread. The mouthfeel is light and slick, with a tad too sweet of a flavor, but it remains smooth and bready with an underlying sugary character. Very tasty overall. Definitely a good example of a Russian Kvass beverage.

Bottle from Iceland. What can I say, this smells awesome. Pure, rich, absolutely fresh pumpernickel bread, so grainy. Its absolutely lovely. Very unique, everything Id want out of a kvass or kvass like beverage. Very sweet in flavor, nice fizz, bready, cheesy. I like this, I must admit.
