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.

Bouteille 750ml. De couleur ambrée foncée et claire. Nez malté de caramel butterscotch, moyen grains de malt pâle, léger de biscuits rôtis et de noix avec des notes de houblon herbeux, de métal et de chocolat. Mince-moyenne en bouche avec un pétillement moyen-bas et une texture légèrement crémeuse et aux notes aqueuses. Goût de grains de malt pâle accompagné d’un léger goût de noix (présent en arrière-goût tout au long de la gorgée) et de traces de légumes bouillis lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute un goût sucré rappelant du sirop de maïs et accompagné d’un moyen goût de caramel légèrement rôti (notes terreuses et de butterscotch) ainsi qu’un léger goût de biscuits au miel (notes de pain grillé) et des traces de chocolat noir puis en finale l’on retrouve un léger goût amer de houblon herbeux (herbe mouillée) accompagné de petites notes métalliques. Post-goût moyen-court et aux petites notes sèches, légèrement amer de rôti (traces de brûlé) et de houblon herbeux ainsi que des notes de noix et métalliques.

This lager poured a deep red colour with a rocky bright white head. to the nose there was scents of wine, malt, ripe fruit and oranges. First taste was almost spiced in flavour with tastes of oatmeal, wine and ripe fruit. A little bitter at the finish and that odd flavour of oatmeal at the end. Some spice but can’t put my finger on the right one. Maybe Allspice???

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!

I have had lots of good dunkels, and this is not one of them. Lightly sweet malt. Light brown color. It could use some more body and flavor besides sweet malt. Like their blonde, very expensive and offers little.
