Jacobsen Prøvebryg no. 1 - Porter

Brewed by Husbryggeriet Jacobsen (Carlsberg)
Style: Porter
Valby, Denmark

Draught at EsBF09. Good roasted aroma, hint of something citric. Black colour. No head. The flavour starts off like a good porter, and then comes a lactic note. It makes the beer more refreshing, but does not really taste very good.

It’s pitch black with almost no head and clear notes of roasted malt, licorice, chocolate and the added lacto. The flavor has a light sweetness and notes of roasted malt, licorice, chocolate and the added lacto is not very strong, but no doubt, it’s there as a not quite unpleasant tartness. An interesting test brew.

Draught at Esbjerg Ølfestival. Frothy white fair fully deminishing head. Black colour. Moderate malty and hoppy aroma. Heavy bitter roasted flavor. Long nice finish. Oily palate.

Black with a small off-white head. Rich aroma of chocolate, toffee, licorice and molasses. Dry and slightly tart toffee and licorice flavour

Draught. Pitch black colour. Nice roasty maltiness in the aroma with chocolate. Good mouthfeel. Pleasant flavour of roasted malt, chocolate, liquorice and something tart towards the roasty chocolate finish.
