COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Danish: Den mørke lagerøl er brygget efter Carlsbergs ældste opskrift, som blev til for 150 år siden. Det er en tør og fyldig øl, med en lang blød eftersmag, hvor du bl.a. kan fornemme karamel og nødder. Duften har lidt lakrids, og frugter som æble og pære over sig.

English: Original Dark Lager is brewed according to J.C. Jacobsen’s original recipe. The colour is chestnut. It has a Hersbrucker hop aroma while the floor malted Munich malt adds a caramel character. The carbonisation is gentle and the hop bitterness is soft. Enjoy at 6-8º.

Swaroga (255) - Brussels, BELGIUM - DEC 3, 2011
75cl bottle. Clear brown with a lightly tanned head. Nose : Toffee, coffee malts. Sip : Water to oily with a medium carbonation. Smoky roasted malts. Sweet with little bitter coffee like malts and very light floral background. Overall : I guess this is the moment to enjoy this one. It’s not a rich flavored beer although it has this harmonious balance and simplicity that I might enjoy when the right time comes.

KoNrRiI (55) - Århus, DENMARK - NOV 14, 2011
0.75 bottle. Very malty aroma, caramel and coffee come alongside. Clear liquid of a dark red color and an average, creamy, beige head. Bitter taste with some sweetness, not too much though. Well balanced, not astringent but has its strength. Medium body and creamy texture, soft carbonation. Long bitter finish only slightly digressed from the taste. Nice balanced beer, fine malts... I enjoyed this one.

Originally rated February 2009. OK. Wanted to do both Jacobsen in one night... but the other kind of got me in a unsober mood. So, the night after, I try this one. Pours a clear copper colour with a small head, that does not last long, and only leaves a bit a lace. The carbonation is minimal, with a little bubble popping here and there. Smells like dark fruits, like plums with some bread and butter. The taste of this one is much better than their Saaz Blonde, with some roasted and caramel malts, mild nuts, and well... that’s about it.
