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.

Didn’t know what to expect out of this one, didn’t even realize it was a malt liquer until I tasted it. The pour was very golden with a medium white head. Initial taste is sweet, you can taste the malt. After taste is bitter, actually not bad for a malt.

(Can 50cl, Fakta) Clear, golden body with a medium to big, white, mostly diminishing white head. Sweet malty aroma and flavor. Well balanced. The alcohol is easily detected in the finish.

downender (4186) - Bristol, Gloucestershire, ENGLAND - JUN 14, 2008
Sampled at a bar in Cognac, France 9/6/08. Golden in colour with a slight white head. Sickly sweet in aroma and flavour with a warming alcohol finish. Not much pleasure given the amount of alcohol involved.

Bradrcr (809) - Renton, Washington, USA - JUN 14, 2008
5/24/08 From the bottle. Aroma is tangy and very sweet on the initial pour, but subsides in a couple of minutes. Noble hops are very hard to detect. Appearance is slightly hazy greenish gold with a medium white head. Flavor is sweet malt forward with a solid pils sourness and low noble bittering. Mouthfeel is low bodied with a medium carb texture. Overall, not bad, but tough to pair with all but the lightest flavored foods.

armando629 (1939) - Budapest, HUNGARY - JUN 12, 2008
Deep golden body, small white head. Minimal aroma, a little malt in the nose with some alcohol. The body is not a complex one...Unpleasant hop flavour, alcoholic malt taste. Not my style.
