COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Danish: Carlsberg Elephant er en såkaldt ”Bockbier” og blev brygget for første gang i 1959. Den er vinøs og frugtig med smagsindtryk af æbler, melon, banan og karamel afbalanceret af en tør bitterhed. Du fornemmer også antydninger af egetræ, bark, nødder og fyrrenåle. Farven er lys gylden med hvidt skum.

English: Carlsberg Elephant Beer is an amber-coloured beer with big intensity in its aroma, and with a distinct maltyness. There is notes of honey in the aroma. The palate of Carlsberg Elephant shows a good balance between a good body from the alcohol, and a discrete sweetness which is tamed by the sophisticated bitterness of the aftertaste.

KyotoLefty (3480) - Kyoto, JAPAN - JUN 27, 2010
Draught in Bucharest. Decent, not very special tasting. Heavy body, slightly sweet, rather malty. Tastes strong in alcohol. Decent but not spectacular, a heavy lager-like beer that approaches the flavor of a heller bock but falls short.

jmulv (304) - East Greenbush, New York, USA - JUN 27, 2010
Pretty sweet, heavy on the malts, moderate taste of alcohol as well. It’s not outstanding, but it does the job and isn’t too bad.
