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.

Ungstrup (23960) - Oamaru, NEW ZEALAND - AUG 12, 2002
A beutiful amber beer with a very nice aroma of sweet caramel. It has a very good balance between the sweetness of the malt and the bitternes of the hops. A very nice beer.

Papsoe (22987) - Frederiksberg, DENMARK - AUG 13, 2005
UPDATED: AUG 14, 2005 (Bottle 33 cl) Comes as "Gamle Carlsberg". Clear, darkish brown with a small head. Malty, lightly sweet aroma. Very malt accentuated body, lovely roasted malt, but more dry and soft than sweet. Discret - yet present - bitterness. In a pub with only Carlsberg this is always my preference. 181201

(Bottle 33 cl) As "Carls Lager" 6/3/6/3/12= 3 090104

33 cL bottle (Carls lager, had Gamle Carlsberg ages ago). Pours amber/brown with light brown/off-white head. Caramel and slight rye-like grain aroma. Soft caramel sweetness very nicely levelled off into a mild finish with a minor bitterness.

MiP (11783) - Sønderborg, DENMARK - MAR 6, 2006
Bottle. Clear, dark brown colour. Small light brown head. Slightly more malty than a pils. A bit thin, but I guess there is a tiny hint of roasted malt.

KimJohansen (10340) - Copenhagen V, DENMARK - DEC 25, 2008
Clear deep amber with medium beige head. Sweet malty aroma caramel notes. Sourish flavour with toasted malt and hints of caramel. I knew they infected beer.

Dedollewaitor (10292) - Odense, DENMARK - JUL 5, 2006
Dark brown with a little red hew. Malty aroma and taste. Almost watery texture. Slight hoppy bitterness. I like this better than their pilsner because of the maltyness. OK
