Instead of using sourdough bread in the mash like we typically do, we added cornbread to the mash baked in-house at Jester King Kitchen!

We find the cornbread lends a pleasant textural character and subtle maize aroma. We fermented in stainless steel with our mixed culture, which always lends natural variation to the beer. In this case, we get restrained fruity esters in the nose, which lend a slight sort of Trappist character. All in all, we find Cornbread Kvass to be one of the more unique beers we've made, while simultaneously presenting quite "clean" and drinkable. As time passes, the acidity and funk will certainly become more present.

It was brewed in March and packaged in May. It was naturally conditioned in bottles and kegs.

Sample (thanks fonefan!). Yellowish golden colour, small white head. Aroma is floral, nectary, some slight tart tones. Flavour is fruity, some earthy, mild sawdust, some tart fruity elements too. Tartish fruits in the aftertaste.

Bottle. A- Funky, oak, grains. A- Gold color, clear liquid, white head. T- Funky, bitter, grassy, corn. P- Medium body, average texture, average carbonation, slightly astringent finish. O- This was about 8 months old and per JK the funk grows with age. There was a tinge of funk but not too much. I wanted more of a cornbread flavor. Definitely unlike any kvass I've had. A fair amount of bitterness too. Okay, but not worth the price tag.
