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.

bottle - Pours clear yellow with a thin head and a sweet malt and corn aroma. The very sweet flavor seems to have corn adjuncts. The body is thin to medium and the carbonation fairly light. The sweet finish is mildly warming thanks to the higher abv.

Bottle. Pour is a yellowish color with just a touch of a head and an aroma that reminds me of a highly alcohol filled version of Heineken. Skunky hops and a bit of alcohol. Flavor is not good. Alcohol is poorly hidden and comes off as paint thinner and hops skunk flavor comes through strong and bits a bit. Additionally, there is a nasty sweetness that is like corn syrup in the mix. Blech!

Aah, the beer of choice for many danish drunks roaming the streets! Had many Elephants in my life - just to sympathize. Pretty much just a fortified pale lager - warm, alcoholic, malty. I like it. I know this isn’t comme il faut, but if you want to get in the mood walking to a metal-concert, a couple of cans of this stuff gets the friggin job done

As a homebrewer and aficianado of alcoholic, malty, hoppy brews, I really like this beer. Good mouth-feel. Nice color. Big bubbles in the carbonation and head retention could be better, but in all honesty really good head is hard to find. A nice brew for those who like strong beer.

Bottle 0.33 l. yellow with white head. Malty and a bit fruity taste. Sweet. Hobs very discrete. Carbonation allright.
