Kvass time! This is the last beer/drink of my 18-day Christmas/New Year vacation. Tomorrow, back to work. The Kvass colors translucent black cola. The carbonation is not particularly aggressive but the emerging tawny froth is ridiculous: fills the glass entirely, leaving no space for the beer itself. Gradually it starts regaining its existence from the bottom upward. The best before date explains this: 5 Feb. Dark bread, nut, molasses and malt extract almost fulfill the gustatory circle. The most narrow sectors still to be fulfilled are toffee and cinnamon. Really intriguing. The taste is quite different from the olfactory supply: the tongue receives sweet flavors, such as malt extract, cola, blackcurrant jam, syrup, dark bread, molasses and cacao nibs. The body is thin. Many of the same flavors continue to the end but some are dropped along the way. The mouthfeel is lip-glueing, moderately sticky and effervescent like never before. It's also marginally spiced and desserty. Strange but I like this.
