Tumšais, teju melnais kvass līst glāzē ar gaiši brūnu putu. Smaržā nolasās grauzdētas rupjmaizes, medus, kā arī rozīņu un žāvētu plūmju nots. Izteiksmīgo, pilnmutīgo rupjmaizes kārtojuma garšu tam piešķir fermentētais, malkas krāsnī kaltētais rudzu iesals, kas no Latvijas ziemas rudziem top uz Naukšēnu muižas iesalnīcas klona grīdas. Saldajā pēcgaršā – spirdzinošs skābenums.

Poured into a glass, dark, almost black, kvass gives rise to a light brown head. Its aroma has a note of roasted rye bread, honey and dried raisins. It gets its distinctive rich rye bread flavour from fermented rye malt dried in a wood stove, which is made from Latvian winter wheat on the stone floor of Naukšēni Manor’s malthouse. Pilsner malt is also produced in Latvia at Staļģene. Its sweet aftertaste has a refreshing tartness.

500ml bottle. Pours a very dark brown it's almost black, fluffy beige head. Aroma of rye bread, sugar syrup. Taste is quite sweet, sugary, plenty of rye bread which is a touch burnt. Light-medium bodied. Bought to finally tick off Kvass from my styles, not much frame of reference as to whether this is a good example or not but I quite liked it even though it's not really my thing.

Bottle ordered from Craft Beer Station, Northampton. Aroma combines sweetness with a sour rye streak. Cloudy cola brown. Thin foamy beige head soon thins out. Surprisingly bitter streak - that rye bread has a decent amount of rye flour in it. There's a sugary fruit streak that is more obvious into the finish. Light bodied. Slick. Average-fizzy carbonation. Long slightly astringent finish. A seemingly more authentic Kvass, i.e. not just very sweet.
