Potions of gain level will increase your experience level. An uncursed potion will do only that. Quaffing a blessed potion of gain level will set your experience level to some point midway between your newly-increased level and the next level. Uncursed potions will not add experience points; if you have 39 experience points and are level 2, a blessed potion would put you at 60XP and level 3, while an uncursed potion would put you at the very beginning of level 3: 40XP. A cursed potion does not increase your experience level, but does increase your dungeon level, one of NetHack's many puns. Cursed potions of gain level are most useful for quickly leaving Moloch's Sanctum and other noteleport levels while on the ascent to the Elemental Planes.
Alchemically, these can be used for the same things as gain energy, if you have potions of gain level to spare.
