I gew accustomed to the taste. I wasn’t quite prepared for the 7.9% ABV. If I had to drink it being the only lager availble I would turn it down. This was my first Danish beer and first Euro Strong Lager.
1.4 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 4/20
UPDATED: DEC 31, 2007 I had this a long time ago at the Sterling Fox in Center, but this rating is on a bottle I just scored at the Beer Store in Moon Township. I really liked the basic Carlsburg, so I really looking forward to tasting this. The reason why I bought this was because I noticed it was within a style that I had yet to taste – euro strong lager. The description here says it has quite an aroma, but I can’t sense too much once I pop the lid or pour it into my steeler stein. When I first popped it open, I did detect a small hint of skunkiness, but that was rapidly fading and disappeared. It comes in an 11 oz green bottle. Looks like your typical pale yellow american beer and has a couple of bubbles rising here and there. White head that quickly diminishes. Pretty strong alcohol initial flavor hit, with a hint of bitterness. The carbonation is less than average, but after a Boddingtons, I’m glad to have some tingle, tho just a little. Taste is not unlike many cheap malt liquors I’m familiar with from BMCs. This beer does not do justice for the carlsburg name. Finish is a medium bitterness that does not go away too quickly. Nice for something different but probably would not buy again.

Bottle from Waitrose. Sweet an alcoholic, lacks a clean flavour. This is what headaches are made of.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 9/20
This may well be the greatest high level alcohol beer ever brewed! A strong but not over powering flavor. I would love to find an establishment featuring this superb brew on tap. It’s thundering 7.2 alcohol % makes for a wonderful warming drink in the winter months.
1.9 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
A very harsh beer. However, it is not my taste. Pretty bottle, but more also not.
2.2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
Bottle. Smells like ginger ale. Weak appearnace and poor flavor with a hint of alcohol. Worth the $1 I paid for it.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
I found this not to bad and even ended up sessioning it it in some mosher club in Dundee insted of newcastle brown, which is generally my beer of choice over shite lager when dancing my tits off. Aroma is sweet toffee malts quite fruity also. Taste gives again sweet fruityness but some sort of hops balance it out.
