A brown beer with a small disappearing head. The aroma is lovely caramelic. The flavor is lovely; with notes of caramel, roasted bread, a nice dry barley finish, and with a good body. A very nice Brown Ale.

Draught @ DBF2004: Amber coloured. Clear. Has a small beige head. Light malty aroma. Very vague and boring. Flavour is sweet, malty and has light cocoa notes. Is light bitter in the end. Quite drinkable beer from Carlsberg. Unfortunately served too cold.

Sampled from draught at Danish Beer Festival 2004 (#8).
Clear amber beer with a small head. Sweet and somewhat sour fruity and hoppy aroma. Dark malt in the flavor with brown sugar and hops. Nice and tasty but a typical thin-bodied Carlsberg product.

Draught at DBF 2004. Nut brown, clear, small white head. Nutty nose, malty and sweet. Flavor is rather nutty and malty. Not very complex, but rather tasty.

Brown color with a white head. The taste is wellbalanced maltyness with a light sweet nutty note. Its very balanced and smooth. Not bad.

Light brown coloured. Malty aroma. Sweet and malty flavour. The finish is weak. Thin and boring.

Amber color. Aroma of caramel, alcohol, wax. Strange brew, with some sweetness, caramel, hops. Drinkable, and nothing else.

Tap, DBF 2004. Amber brown, thin shortlived white head and gentle condition. Faint caramel and grain in the nose, sweet toffee and some grssy hops in the mouth and a finish that just seems thin and bitter. Not my idea of a brown ale.

Dark amber-brown mostly clear color - small head. Coffey -sour taste - too carbonated - weird taste?

A decent drink in the end, although I was scepticle as trying this since I dislike original Carlsberg, I was moderately suprised at its difference.
