Favoured by those who have seen two World Wars and who have seen none, Original V.B. follows the lines of traditional London ales; dark, yet sweet with a gentle hint of hops.

Bottle shared at the Cotteridge Convention 2014. Pours clear brown with a foamy tan head. The nose holds some doughy brown bread and light toffee. Light sweet flavor with dry toasty malts, light earth, some metal, dried fruits. Light in body with average carbonation. Finishes with some earthy bitterness, cocoa and dried fruits. Fine.

Første flaske på RBHD-sammlingen hos Asle Bjørn: Fin mørk mahognyfarge med kort skum. Aroma og smak av malt, molasse og kanskje litt dadler. Velbalansert og lettdrikkelig. En hyggelig start på det som blir en hyggelig kveld!

Dark brown. Pale beige head that quickly resides. Aroma of dark caramel, rasins and dates. Perhaps a bit waterish mouthfeel. Good aftertaste.

500 ml bottle, from Guernsey. ABV is 3.4%. Very dark brown colour, nearly black. Moderate beige head. Malty aroma, notes of caramel, hints of liquorice and black bread. Smooth mouthfeel. Malty flavour, but not too sweet. Notes of dark bread and Norwegian "Tomtebrygg". Pleasant to drink.
