Lets start with some kvass. Smell- cherry, sour cherry, for some reason some smoke, some sweetness too and candy. Foam- thin, soft, sweetness, cherry, sugar. Medium dark brown foam, but small and disappears almost instantly Appearance- clear dark brown, with bit of red. Some carbonation bubbles at sides, cant see any inside. Taste- cherry, juice, watered down sour cherry, now feels less sweet than before. Generally feels very watery, like there was something but it got watered down a lot. Drinkable ish.

Smell- weak, maybe hops, maybe bit of candy. Foam- thin, watery, not too soft, quite large in mouth, really weak bitter tones. Medium large white foam. Appearance- clear yellow amber, no carbonation bubbles at side but some inside. Taste- weak citrus, weak nonalco feel, even more nonalco in aftertaste. Not good.

500 ml bottle, thank you FatPhil. Darker ashy brown with some light bubbles on the top. Huge herbal nose, really lots of medicinal herbs there, really medicinal. Yarrow, lots of it. Taste has sweet malty caramel, herbs are not so strong in taste, also yarrow is more tame. Cinnamon and spices are there but quite low level still. Watery for a porter, sweetness there in the finish with sone herbal bitterness.Bit meh but still drinkable somehow.
