Carlsberg 47 was Carlsberg’s first, strong Christmas beer, originally brewed for the first time in 1972 on the occasion of Carlsberg’s 125th anniversary. It should only have been on the market for that one year, but its great taste quickly gained with beer connoisseurs and has had a permant place in Carlsberg Group’s product portfolio ever since. Carlsberg 47 is released every year around the time of Carlsberg Breweries’ birthday in early November and is available until the New Year. The taste is round and sweet, as a Christmas beer should be. The roasted caramel aromas blend themselves with a tasty bite in the aftertaste, and the dark color suits the season nicely.

(Bottle 33 cl) Originally a Jubilee beer to celebrate 125 years of Carlsberg in 1972, but later turned into one of the first Danish Christmas beers. Dark amber colour with an off-white collapsing head. Lovely malty, lightly sweet nose. Malty, slightly burned caramel-flavours with a pronounced bitter finish. Still one of the best Danish Christmas beers from the big players on the market. Unfortunately the alcohol was tuned down some years ago. 081299

Reddish brown colour. Almost no head at all. Malty aroma, hints of caramel too. Sweet and a bit bitter taste. Long and a slightly bitter aftertaste. Can’t say that this is one of my favourite beers.

Clear amber-red; yellowish head, creamy & dissipating. Nose with caramel, cookies and a fruity smell - rosehips? Taste much less sweet than nose promesses. Bit meaty taste (& mouthfeel). Again some faint perfumey flavour - quinces or rosehips all the same? Rather refreshing for a rather big ale. Yet a certain "fleshness" in the mouthfeel. But the finish, apart from the quince-pine flavour is empty, sweet and thin. For a megaconcern as Carlsberg-Tetley, this must be a tour-de-force. Imagine brewing a beer with actual flavour! Probably the most difficult beer in the world.

Light amber color; creamy head. Sweet malt aroma (Strong Lager). Sweet in the front, a bit oily, but much more malt than in a standard Strong Lager; a lot of character, a bold, good bitterness in the mouth. Also the palate is strong, long and partially aromatic. Thanks Jans (Ungstrup) for this pleasant macro-brew.

Bottled. Dark amber, little head. Corn aroma, very sweet and clean with thin metallic finish. Very one-dimensional.

330 ml bottle, bought in Denmark. Not bad - not outstanding. Amber colour, malty sweetness in aroma and flavour, not very complex, a drinkable Christmas beer but no masterpiece.

An amber beer with no head. It has a sweet aroma of a good malt blend. The flavor is slightly acidic and of a good malt blend. Pretty sweet and only slightly bitter.

Slightly smoked and sweet malt nose with a slight bitterhop counterpoint. Lovely orange amber, initially an lacing off-white head which collapses quickly though. Medium full malty body, a slight sparkle on the tounge from bittering hops, but overall poor on exiting flavors - a hint of aromatic hops would make it a lot better. Geared to blandness to make it easy drinkable.
