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.

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.

[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.

Bottle 0,75l. Dark brown color. A large brownish head that soon disappeared. Malt in the nose. A sweet malty flavor leading into a dry bitter finish. Not bad. Good-looking bottle. KI=7

Smallish offwhite head rapidly disappears altogether. Lovely dark red-brown body. Fruity caramel aroma with some roastiness. Sweet, cinnamon-dominated roasty caramel taste with some hops throughout. Faint, short, bitter aftertaste. Frankly, I’m surprised at there being this much taste in a lager like this; very good.
