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.

Ungstrup (24024) - Oamaru, NEW ZEALAND - FEB 6, 2006
A slighlty hazy orange-red beer with a nice light brown head. The aroma is sweet with notes of brewmash and grain as well as fruits and hay. The flavor is very sweet with notes of grain, caramel, and a slight burnt note - as if the caramel as if the caramel spent a bit too long time over the fireplace. The burnt note gives the beer a dry end. Down the middle of the road Dunkel - nothing special - nothing wrong.

Papsoe (23023) - Frederiksberg, DENMARK - AUG 25, 2005
(Bottle 75 cl) This is Jacobsens attempt at recreating the Carlsberg Bavarian lager - the original Carlsberg Lager, predating it’s pilsner. Very dark amber with a pretty, reddish glow and a small off-white head. The malt dominate this all the way through, in the aroma yes, but more distinctly in the flavour. Lovely roasted malt with notes of lightly sweet caramel. Very discreet bitterness. Quite delicate. 010705

33 cL bottle. Pours slight hazy brown/amber with a lacing head. Slight roasted caramel malt. Malty and woody flavour, dry raisin. Dry malty finish with a lasting fruity note. Lacks some body to be great.

oh6gdx (16084) - Vasa, FINLAND - OCT 2, 2006
Bottled. Amber colour, mediumsized beige head. Huge caramellish malts and apple in aroma. Flavour is mainly a malt and acidic barley bomb. Slight hints of caramel, metal, ashes and dark fruits. A quite nice surprise compared to what I awaited.

omhper (15965) - Stockholm, SWEDEN - OCT 1, 2006
[Bottled at Stockholm Beer Festival] Clear amber, brief head. Fairly light bodied with some rya and bread. Firm but clean mouthfeel, near no bitterness. Fairly decent, but dull. Presents itself as something fancy when it’s really only a half baked dunkel.

MiP (11783) - Sønderborg, DENMARK - MAY 26, 2005
Bottle. Malty, Schwarzbierlike aroma. Clear brown colour. Soft and creamy mouthfeel. Flavour is a bit malty, I guess, but nothing out of the ordinary. Citric aftertaste.

Dedollewaitor (10298) - Odense, DENMARK - AUG 4, 2007
Amber with a red hew. See through. Little white head that fades slowly. Taste is roast caramel & slight hops. Medium bodied & enjoyable! Light sweet with malty/fruity notes. No punches & biting going on - but allround enjoyable!
