The Velvet Original mild beer is dark pasteurized beer with a velvet flavor.

The velvet beer is widely known from Soviet times. «Velvet Original Mild» revives the best traditions of Soviet brewage and grants the consumer with the familiar velvet taste.

The «Velvet» beer is brewed according to all-Union State Standard with the use of dark caramelized and rye malt, that’s why the same soft sweet accents as in its precursor can be found in its taste. «Velvet original mild» may become a perfect addition to the nostalgic friends meeting.

At a tasting, thanks, small bubbly head, clear dark red to brown color, aroma of brown bread and prunes, some candy drops and a whiff of wood, flavor of brown bread and light raisins, lightish bitterness. Not too good, too much like a kvass.

500ml bottle. Pours red-brown with a small head. Faint aroma of caramel and raisins. Sweetish metallic caramel taste and some roastiness - some heavy kvas influence here.
