0.32cl bottle from the 24hr shop on market street, Aberdeen. It pours clear mahogany brown a small, frothy white head. The aroma is earthy, bready, toasty grains, cereal, woody, nutty, dried fruits and instant coffee. The taste is sweet - sour, tangy dried fruits, raisin, sultana, supermarket own brand cola, molasses, instant coffee and malt loaf with a sweet finish. Light body and soft, but fluffy carbonation. I like the tang this has, makes it interesting and stops is form the usual over sweetness of kvass.

Smell-weak to medium malt, bread, yeast, well kvass. Foam- thin, malt, bread, sweetness. Head is small, dirty white color, like weak yellow mixed with weak brown. Appearance- simple bottle and generic black bottle cap. Clear, dark red color, ruby. From - snifter Taste - malt, bread, acidic tones, the sweetness is low enough, but citric acid hits through a bit. Nothing special, but not the worst kvass for sure.
