Carlsberg Carls Dark

Brewed by Carlsberg Brewery
Style: American Dark Lager
Copenhagen, Denmark

A dark red beer with a small head. The aroma is malty sweet with smoked notes. The flavor is slightly smoked with a lot of sweetness - but it turns a bit watery in the middle, to end on a nice bitterness.

(Bottle 33 cl) Very pretty bronze coloured with a nice, lasting head. Quite lovely and full-bodied beer with a distinct bitterness and an underlying sweetness from both malts and the added syrup. Not a bad offering. 030503

Bottled. Nut brown. Neutral aroma. Overly sweet with mellow mouthfeel. Lightly nutty, no bitterness in a sticky, syrupy finish.

33 cL bottle. Pours amber/brown with a small lacing head. Medium dry/sweet malt aroma, slight roasted. Caramel/chocolate malt flavour, subdued sweetness and a mild bitterness accompanying the malt flavours into the finish. Nice malty/bitterness, but I personally had this last compared to Pivo, Capo and Hvede (personal no 1), but I guess my palate has matured.

Bottle. Clear amber color with a average off-white head. Aroma is moderate malty, molasses. Flavor is moderate sweet and bitter with a average duration. Body is ligth to medium, texture is watery, carbonation is flat. Thin and weak.

Bottle. Nice dark brown colour, white head. Sweet, toasty smell. Roasted flavour.

Canned (Thanks faroeviking!). Amber colour, small head. Aroma is caramel, metal and some slight notes of earth and mash. Flavour is the same in a rather bad balance. Some sweet malty hints along with bitterness in aftertaste.

Red beer with a small beigehead. The aroma is malty. The flavour is sweet with lots of malt and with notes of caramel, OK bitterness. Nothing special, but it’s an OK and very drinkable beer.
