Jacobsen Original Dark Lager is brewed on the oldest recipe in the Carlsberg archives - JC Jacobsen’s original recipe of 1854. To re-create the original recipe, the Jacobsen Brewhouse focused on one of the key ingredients in beer - water. Water highly influences the taste of beer and by analysing the water used in Jacobsen’s time, an exact copy of his original ingredient was created by adding salts and minerals.
The main raw material is Münchenermalt from Germany but a "floor malt" from England is also added, just as was done in the 1850's. The beer is fermented at low temperature to give a special mild and rounded caramel flavour.

At the Carlsberg center, clear amber brown, toffee, fig aroma. Light body, minimal carbonation, possibly too young? Sweet, caramel, grainy, meh. Historically important but that is it.

75 cl. bottle, shared. Dark brown colour with a golden tint. Dense, creamy off-white head. Slightly roasted aroma with caramel and toasted malts and nuts. A hint of sweet fruits. Taste is light sweet. Medium body, creamy texture and an average carbonation. Finishes bitter with caramel malts and a toasted note. Decent as other Jacobsen beers however as always good food-beer pairings.

75 cl bottle @ home. Rated on 20.02.2009
Aroma is sweet and malty with syrupy notes and roastiness. Flavour is sweetish with roasted malt, syrupy notes, hints of herbs and licorice. Sticky palate. Decent, feels a bit bulky.

Bottle. Pours hazy dark copper brown with airy off-white head. Clear, sweet aroma of malt, caramel and fruit. Bitter, hoppy onset, leading to a sweetish, malty flavour, ending in a dry, coffe-like finish. Complex and interesting, but rather watery and somewhat unbalanced. OK.

Nice to drink a Danish beer that hasn’t been made @ De Proef for a change.
