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.

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.

750ml neat looking capped bottle. It is a Carlsberg product so I will be weary but it looks promising. It pours a murky red/brown with a small off-white head. It smells quite on for the style, it is lightly sugary, caramally, and grainy, with a hint of chocolate. No sign of hops, but this is spot on for the style actually. It is rich and full bodied with the exact smells translating into the flavor with a bit more bitter roasty character. It is surprisingly good, though not as supremely drinkable as the Bavarain examples. This one surprised me big time, the Saaz blonde is a bit more expensive but I am willing to try it.

14.10.2006. 0,75l Bottle. Dette ølet smaker masse av tung malt. Maybe a little heavy since there isnt to much hops. Ok, but a little daft?
