Carlsberg Imperial Stout/Gl. Carlsberg Porter

Carlsberg Imperial Stout/Gl. Carlsberg Porter

G.L Carlsberg Imperial Stout Porter was introduced in 1930, won the silver medal in 1996 World Championships, and is still remembered as the world’s best Porter. Sold in bottles and cans.



Aromas and flavours are dominated by caramel, liquorice, Munich malt and roasted chocolate malt, providing a deep dark brown colour with light brown foam.



Serving suggestions:
Should be served at 7-10 C. Its strong character makes it suitable for the cold winter months. Its caramelized malt flavor pair well with game, roast pork, sausage, potatoes, ham or desserts with chocolate. It could also be enjoyed by itself or mixed with lemon water.

3.5 Quite soft for the style but enjoyable Danes get crazy with two beers but it is part of the show while you enjoy these nice brews.
4.8 chocolate, coffee, alcohol, woody, vanilla, black, tan foam, medium sweetness, lightly bitter, medium body, thick feel, average carbonation, God øl.
3.6 Ganske udmærket stout. Tæt, kompleks smag med stærke elementer af chokolade. Afbalancerede noter af kaffe, men med rigeligt karamel i eftersmagen. Humlen er tydelig, men ikke overdreven som i andre porter/Stout-typer. Ingen røgmalt, så meget langt fra Limfjordsporter.
3.8 En copa, cerveza totalmente negra y oleosa, con una generosa capa de espuma color toffee bastante cremosa. Aroma a chocolate negro, leche, café, maltas torrefactas, y algo de caramelo quemado. En boca, textura muy sedosa y bastante oleosa, muy agradable al paladar. Sabor predominante a cacao puro, acompañado de leche, café y malta, todo ello sin ser excesivamente dulce. Sus 8.2% no se aprecian en ningún momento. Hay que reconocer que la gente de la Carlsberg sabe darle a las maltas torrefactas, pues se han sacado de la manga una Stout espectacular.
3.8 Smag af lakrids, karamel og en smule røg.

3.7 Danke bamsen78 ! Ein schönes Carlsberg, das zu überzeugen weiß mit seinen wunderbaren Aromen wie Schoko, Karamell, etwas Lakritz, durchaus erdigen Anleihen und einem Schuss Getreide. Dick und stark, dabei dennoch süffig und einfach zu trinken. Die Quittung folgt bekanntlich später.
