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.

750ml bottle: Hazy copper colour with no head. Aromas of ripe fruit, caramel and dark malt. Tastes sweet with dominating flavours of raisins and brown sugar. Sticky body with a creamy palate. Unbalanced. I was disappointed.

Poured a reddish-brown color with little head that dissipated rather rapidly. Aroma is not real strong, but has a somewhat sweet malty smell. Taste is also malty and sweet with hints of caramel and nuts. Little if any hop presence. Mouthfeel is okay, felt a bit on the thin side. Beer is okay, but not worth what I paid for it.

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.

(750 ml bottle) medium brown with light brown head. Sweet malt aroma. Flavor is sweet caramel malt. A nice dunkel really.

not much of an aroma. Looks nice except for the fact that the head is non-existant. taste is nuts, caramel, malts. quite okay acutally. Session beer with a good taste, okay, but not distinguisable from most other such beers.
