As suggested by the name, Imperial Kvass is imperial in both its appearance and nature. It is a traditional dark kvass made by way of fermentation. Its full-bodied, bready flavour comes from ripe grains and the wisdom of kvass makers that has been passed on from generation to generation. The clean and deep colour and the sparkling head that appears when the kvass is poured into a glass are also proof of the noble past of the beverage.

In order to make real kvass, malt must be fermented. A small quantity of alcohol emerges in the drink as a result of each fermentation process. However, the 0.5 per cent alcohol content does not make kvass an alcoholic beverage.

0,4L bottle. Pours dark ruby-black with light brown head. The head stays for a moment. Aroma is roast, malt, sweetness. Flavor is sweet, malt roast, metallic notes, rye bread, citric notes. Finish has even some rye spiciness. Overall: I guess there is decent kvass hiding behind the artificial crap (citric acid, food coloring etc).

40cl bottle from Rimi, Tallinn. Pours dark brown with a reddish hue and a nice, beige head. Dark malty and bready aroma with hints of caramel and sour berries. Sweet and bready, but well balanced and tasty. Some bitterness present too. A rather nice one!
