Carlsberg Semper Ardens Abbey Ale

Brewed by Carlsberg Brewery
Style: Abbey Dubbel
Copenhagen, Denmark

66/75 cL bottle. Pours brown/orange with a short lasting off-white head leaving a nice rim. Aroma is yeasty and alcohol. Yeast is both Carlsbergensis and something else. Taste is rather caramelly/malty and yeasty, some fruit notes too. Weak belgian - but a good beer afterall.

Bottle, very good take on the abbey ale style, with lots of aromas of dark fruits and phenol spicyness. Well balaced contribution from residual sugars and alcohol in the taste

Brown hazy colour,sweet smell of fruit aroma of yeast and also a fruity tast of banana.Small beige head.Super beer i guess.

70 cl bottle from MiP. Thanks! Malt, milk chocolate, pear and a hint of cinnamon in the aroma. Malty sweet flavor with pear and milk chocolate. Some roasty notes in the far background. Almost medium bodied. A very fruity interpretation of the type.

A good attempt from Carlsberg to "be" something belgian, but it still needs something to reach its goal. Something massive, then you know what I mean!

Pours muddy brown with sides of red. Head is is only lasting a few seconds, then dwindling to a fine film. Aroma is initially a bit vinious (perhaps it’s too cold?). Flavour is sweet with loads of caramel. An okay citric bitterness creeps in at the last note.

brown/red appearence with an ok white head. Not as hazy as i would have expected an unfiltered abbey ale to be. Arome is yeast and some vague wild berry, not impressive, but the flavor is really good. Mainly sweet with some sourness to balance it out. Long lasting tastefull finish. One of the few Carlsberg productions i’d recomment.

Bottle.Dark brown colour. Aroma of roasted malts, caramel, bit fruitiness. Flavour is malty, caramellic, nice roasted maltiness, nice hops. Good Dubbel brew.
