SNuffster - if you like Carlsberg Special Brew, you should check out if any other Danish Beer is available in your area! I like very much Carl’s Special, which I believe is the name Special Brew is sold under in Danmark. If I remember correctly, while I was living in the US (NE PA) some of my friends there, did tell me that they knew of various Danish Beers being sold in the US. Another very good beer for not too strong snuffs is Guinness and Young’s Double Chocolate Stout. I have great respect for the Irish style Whiskeys, but almost never drink strong alcohol. I prefer beer or wine.

Carlsberg is good. I’ve also put away a few of the Carlsberg Elephant Malt & Jacobsen Dark Lager. Anchor Steam, Icehouse & Steinlager are good with scotch snuffs.

Elephant? Can you get that in the US? Awesome! Jacobsen Dark Lager would be a Carlsberg too, since the founder of the Carlsberg Brewery was Carl Jacobsen. Oh man, here we have more than 150 different breweries, and every town has its own taste so to speak Carlsberg and Tuborg pale lagers are the least interesting beers around, but the ones that are exported world wide. I wish that you could taste some of the local brands, that are only made for local consumption :o)
Yeah I bet they are good. I think there is that problem worldwide. Like there are thousands of small ‘micro brew/craft brews’ in the US. A lot of which are superb, some of the best beers I’ve had, but they are not exported at all. Some brews don’t even leave the state that they are made in. The ones that seem to make export are the mass producers that are not necessarily the best because they are just pushed out without any love going into it. Like they were made by robots.

Lagavulin is my favorite scotch. It goes well with any tobacco.
And fig newtons go well with any scotch.
FarleyFlavors - Yes Carlsberg is made by license all over the world. I also heard that Carlsberg made in Africa it’s not even close to what we get here in Danmark! The sweetness that you mention could very well be some attempt to meet Anglo-Saxon taste, which is quite different from the Scandinavian. As for the high alcohol, this is something we like in our beer too. There is a rather large variety of local micro breweries making beer of 7-10% alcohol beers, and they are becoming increasingly popular. Though traditional Danish beer is seldom more than 5% which is not considered high. Beer was used for thirst quenching and was always perfectly socially acceptable. Now for SNUFF that’s a different story :o) We used to be great snuffers here, but not so anymore. However, I have begun noticing that more and more kiosks in supermarkets and elsewhere, have begun selling swedish style snus! I used to take snus as well, but I find it totally impossible to have a beer with a “pris” as we call it, in my mouth. I did try the portion-snus, or pouches, but find that it feels like it must feel to eat toilet paper! Tobacco for the nose, and beer for the pallet :o)
FarleyFlavors - He he forgot to tell that “Farley” sounds exactly like the Danish word “Farlig” meaning “dangerous”, so your nick is “DangerousFlavors” :o)))

I’ve had a couple of glasses of Bush Mills (orange label) this evening. Went well with Wilson’s Best SP and F&T Macouba.
fixin2, Which variety of Four Roses are you sipping? HRhuffinsnuff, IPA are great as well. My current IPA favorites are from Mad River Steelhead, Lagunitas Maximus & Sierra Nevada Anniversary Ale. But my favorite beer at the moment is Anchor Liberty Ale. And like I’ve mentioned before in another post, grappa goes great with toque espresso. And Sierra Nevada Bigfoot Barleywine goes great with Samuel Gawith Honey.
Carlsberg here in the UK just tastes like all British lager, slightly funny tasting water that is way to fizzy and cold! It’s made by Tetleys who do a decent proper beer. I opened this thread just as I was unwrapping a bottle of The Glenlivet 15 like Nightcap posted!
celticsnuffer, If you ever find yourself in San Francisco, make sure to visit the Anchor Steam facility. Its a fun tour & you get free beer and sample the whiskies & gin they put out.
Kunugaa - you examplify the difference between anglo-saxon and scandinavian beer taste very well I think. Because most Danes find that the English for some strange reason serve most of their beers - stale, bland and warm :O)
