Carlsberg Master Brew

Brewed by Carlsberg Brewery
Style: Malt Liquor
Copenhagen, Denmark

SWEET and pretty alcoholic. A powerful beer but the sweetness is way too overwhelming and one-dimensional. Serve it cold and e.g. as an aperitif with a slice of lemon.

Dark golden with a short lived head. Weak aroma of malt. Full body and great mouthfeel. Flavour is dominated by alcohol, and sweet malt taste, with a slightly bitter finish.

I was intrigued by this beer, particularly the high alcohol content. Sweetish nose with a big whiff of alcohol, rich gold color, tall spongy head. Sweet honey malt and maybe something like raspberry in the background. A faint tinge of hops at the very end. Alcohol is very noticeable in the swallow. Full rich body and a creamy mouthfeel.

Dark golden color. Fizzy carbonation, no head. Sweet hoppy grass and cereal nose. Sweet, candy malt taste. A lot of alcohol, amost like a brandy.

I got this from a friend who used to live in Belgium and he hed it put away fro a couple years. He broke it out and we drank it. I didn't find it to be quite as offensive as the previous raters. Very heavy body...Flavor was malty with a heavy alcohol presence. Bitter aftertatse.

This is the strongest beer from Carlsberg and one of the strongest from Denmark. And I can tell you that Carlsberg is not good at brewing strong beers. The taste of alcohol is way to penetrating, it's almost like drinking pure alcohol. The aroma too is very alcoholic. Last time I had this beer (at Carlsberg at a beer seminar) they served it with a piece of lime! Normally lime and beer dos not suit each other, but in this case it took just the top of the alcoholic taste and made it a little more drinkable.

Bottled: Amber coloured. Not much head. Sweet, hoppy and loads of alcahol in the nose. Hops, maltsweetness and a distinct alcaholtaste in the flavour. Not much bitterness in the end but some alcaholsweetness. Not my cup of beer.

I don't like these strong beers, without any special carakteristicks. Strong and alcoholic.
