Perhaps the most expressive Kvass I've had, and certainly the freshest. Has a deep umami flavor, not unlike dashi or sodium-free soy sauce. Or root beer without the sweetness. Dark, odd, very interesting.

Many thanks to martjoobolut for this brew. Nice brown in the glass, highly carbonated. Dry fruity beginning. Roasted malt and burned dry sugars with an extreme dry body. Red fruits there as well - aroma of sour strawberries and red currant. Very interesting. Very dry and slightly roasted dusty, still refreshing with a roasted bitter and fruity aftertaste.

Tap at Porgu. Black rye bread, creamy yogurt, nutty and bready, huge nose. Pitch black. Sweet and sour flvor, malty rye, spicy, huge sense of liquid bread. Fizzy and refreshing. Great stuff.

On tap at Põrgu, Tallinn. Pitch black with a small, beige head. Wow! Strong aroma of freshly baked black bread. Surprisingly fresh and flavourful. Nice and tasty. --- Beer merged from original tick of Kali on 08 Jun 2019 at 16:50 - Score: 8

Large draft glass @ Põrgu. Surprisingly dark, black basically pure syrup. Nose is black bread, some of their kitchen fresh bread that I tried but more bit roasted Baltic black bread, rye, pure bread syrup, raisin. Taste is insane, god tire Kvass, I didn’t know Kvass could even be this good, pure slick but not too thick oily uniform bodied thick black Baltic bread, dark cherry, raisin, pure bread, black cherries, raisin, pure stick, not to thick but pure syrup at the same time. 100 % genius in my opinion, exceeds beyond the style.

On tap at P�rgu, pours a deep dark brown / black with no head. Aroma brings out toffee, licorice and root beer, with sticky molasses. Flavour is very sticky, with loads of molasses, brown sugar, root beer and licorice. Creamy and sweet, but quite complex. Nice stuff.
