COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Danish: Gamle Carlsberg er en mahognifarvet lagerøl med cremet skum, brygget efter undergæringsprincipper, som blev udviklet i 1400-tallet. Gamle Carlsberg har anelser af karamel og frugt såsom æbler og blommer og lidt vellagret træ. Duften er ristet med fine frugt- og karameltoner. Første gang i handlen 10.november 1847 (blev allerede brygget i 1846 i Brolæggerstræde), dog med en højere alkoholstyrke end i dag.

English: Gamle Carlsberg has a clear red-golden colour, and is brewed with münchenermalt by bayerish tradition since 1847. Münchenermalt is roasted by higher temperature, which gives it a darker colour than regular malt. Gamle Carlsberg’s aroma indicates fine fruity and caramellish notes. In the mouth it is characterized by having a good body and low carbonation, which underlines the soft impression of the taste.

humlelala (399) - DENMARK - JUL 29, 2011
(33 cl from SuperBrugsen) Pours a clear chestnut brown with little white head that dissipitates quickly. Aroma is dominated by malt with notes of dust and straw. Thin-bodied, watery texture with soft carbonation and a short, sweet finish. The taste is boring, bland, watery and dominated by a faint malt.

jesperhammer (1526) - Copenhagen, DENMARK - JUL 19, 2011
19-JUL-2011, bottle @home, from "Superbest". Pours mahogany with no head. "Hvidtøl" nose. Brown ale-like character like charamel and sweetness. Thin, watery, and slightly sweet. A dry cedar taste leads to a sweet watery ending. Really nice easy drinking lager. I would choose this over the ordinary Carlsberg Lager anytime.d

LookMomNoHands (578) - Copenhagen, DENMARK - JUL 11, 2011
0,33 l. bottle. Dark amber colour with a small, white head that quikly disappears. Caramel from the malts is the most present aroma, but also some dark fruits. Light bitterness, thin body, flat carbonation, and a shortlived finish. A beer with historic roots - I would prefer something more modern, for a warm day a pilsener would be better...

A little head, dark amber. nose with a little sweet caramel and peach.. medium body and good length. More taste than nose: caramel, maybe a little prune. Short and simple but drinkable.
