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.

Pours a orange yellow with a thin white head. Aroma of sweet malts with a hint of alcohol. Flavor matches the aroma and is pretty smooth. Drinkable.

deyholla (3154) - Waukesha, Wisconsin, USA - NOV 26, 2009
Bottle. Poured a weak amber with a near white head. Aroma was full of sweet malts and even a bit of honey. Flavor was a bit overly sweet with an alcohol bite at the end.

BeerChaser0078 (846) - Melbourne, AUSTRALIA - NOV 17, 2009
Bottle. Pours clear gold with a rocky white head that doesn’t last long. Grainy aroma with a soapy undertone, not very nice. Flavour is malty and slightly sweet with hints of caramel and citrus. Thin mouthfeel with a lot of carbonation and a lingering woody, metallic finish. Drinkable on a hot day but overall not particularly good.

This beer is great for the alchohol content and being that its a malt beverage. The smell is skunky and the taste is a bit weak other than sugar malts.

sound67 (223) - Offenbach, GERMANY - OCT 15, 2009
500ml can, silver color with elephant logo. Pours a slightly reddish golden yellow, with medium head, little lacing. Medium carbonation, boozy mouth feel due to the high alcoholic volume. Strongly bitter taste of roasted malt, growing even stronger as you keep drinking. Grainy taste, despite alcoholic head note throughout. Dry finish, lingering bitter after taste. If you like a certain grainy bitterness, and if you can accept the alcoholic note to be so upfront, then this is your strong beer. If you like your ale a little smoother, a little sweeter, a little less "brusque", then steer clear of Elephant beer. ;=)

Bottle @ Allen St Hardware. Pale lager colored pour. Little aroma to speak of. Some skunkiness. Taste is pretty bland, grassy bitterness, malt sweetness. Blah
