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.

Esperava muito mais dessa famosa loirinha. Talvez minha nota baixa se deva ao excesso de expectativa...

Carlus12 (361) - London, Greater London, ENGLAND - JAN 3, 2008
Bottle @ Les Brasseurs de la Grand Place, Brussels ’08. I got nothing from this beer, a huge disappointment to be honest. Pale yellow colour, unexciting head. Aroma is grassy / metallic / wrong! Taste was forgetable / alcoholic. Not good.

Such a famous brewery and such a bad beer... The bottle looks good. The beer is tastes very strong and alcoholic, absolutely not drinkable. Bad stuff!

12oz bottle part of "beers of world"variety 10 pack.. pours a very cloudy golden with a spotty head.. smells very chemical and pungent distinct maltiness, the alcohol whiff is overwhelming to the nose. shot to the palate is heavy and metallic.. overwhelming alcoholic malts leave me with the onslaught of heartburn and thats never a good thing.. too many haymakers and not enough jabs in this fighter lager.. not that great.
