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.

Amber/gold body. Grainy, metallic taste with some sweetness near the back of the palate. Bitter alcoholic finish.

According to amount of alcohol I thought the taste would have been more alcohol tasting and bitter. Afterall works best when served cold as possible with snacks for ex...

The elephant is golden with a nice head and an aroma like wet grain. The flavour is sweetish and has a lot of alcohol with a hint of caramel. The bitterness is rather good and last through the finish, well that’s about it... 1688

You gotta try it for yourself, if you are a beer drinker, then you have had it. If you haven’t had it, you just wanna be a beer drinker...

Pale gold no head. Smells extremely sweet and somewhat skunked. Sweet and unpleasant. Metallic. Cloying. Lingering alcohol.

Light yellow, smells mostly of alcohol. Surprisingly sweet, not as alcoholic flavor as I expected. Not too good, though. Metallic.

Although lager is a simple style, it will always be a special beer to me. I also like the idea of brewing anything this strong.

Pours a light gold into the glass. Aroma is overwhelmingly skunky. Goes down surprisingly smooth for 7.2%, but not necessarily tasty. Taste is skunky too with some cornlike taste to it. A little alcohol seeps through as it warms. Probably wouldn’t buy again.
