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.

A slighlty hazy orange-red beer with a nice light brown head. The aroma is sweet with notes of brewmash and grain as well as fruits and hay. The flavor is very sweet with notes of grain, caramel, and a slight burnt note - as if the caramel as if the caramel spent a bit too long time over the fireplace. The burnt note gives the beer a dry end. Down the middle of the road Dunkel - nothing special - nothing wrong.

Bottle. Brown with small head. Head disappears fast. Quite malty, caramel, nuts, well balanced dunkel with a long medium bitter finish. Medium bodied

Bottle at London Gathering Nov 05. Russsety brown colour with no head. Candy sugar and brown sugar aroma and in mouth. Bit sweet. Just a bit "ucky" with the sweet brown sugar. Quite nice for a dark lager though.

Bottle. Another disapointing beer from Jacobsen. Creamy good head, but mostly diminishing, malty aroma but not nice. Average flavour. Too carbonated.

Bottle. Reddish/copper with a light tan head. Lots of malts in aroma. The flavour is also malty, with caramel and some hoppy elements too. It’s to carbonated to be pleasant in the mouth, it almost stretches beyond the hops in the finish. (050929)

(Bottle 75 cl) This is Jacobsens attempt at recreating the Carlsberg Bavarian lager - the original Carlsberg Lager, predating it’s pilsner. Very dark amber with a pretty, reddish glow and a small off-white head. The malt dominate this all the way through, in the aroma yes, but more distinctly in the flavour. Lovely roasted malt with notes of lightly sweet caramel. Very discreet bitterness. Quite delicate. 010705

750 ml bottle. Beautiful copper colour, good beige head. Moderate caramel malts aroma, some aromatic hops too. Clean tasting dunkel, mellow caramel malts flavour but not too sweet. Decent enough to drink, but not worth the high price.

Bottle. Malty, Schwarzbierlike aroma. Clear brown colour. Soft and creamy mouthfeel. Flavour is a bit malty, I guess, but nothing out of the ordinary. Citric aftertaste. 6 3 6 4 11
Draught, unfiltered at KØ13. Bready rye aroma. Cloudy brown colour. Small white head. The flavour is also bready, seems a little citric. 6 3 6 3 15
