Commercial Description:
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.

Not so dark for a "dark lager," as this one poured an amber-orange with a thick, tan head. Nice German malt and hersbrucker hop aromas. Easy drinking quality that is a lighter version of an Italian doppelbock, such as Birra Moretti. Some malt ball aroma and flavor. I liked this one. Flavorful and wonderfully drinkable.

Pours a nut brown with a quarter-inch off-white head with modest retention and some lacing. Aroma is pretty plain lightly-sweet brown malt. Taste is buttery diacetyl with a light nutty taste and sweet brown malt. Pretty straightforward here, not even any hops to speak of. Moderate carbonation, lightly creamy body. Bo-ring!
