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.

UPDATED: JAN 20, 2010 A bit pricy here in the states, but will get the job done. Got a strong bite to it, with some good alcohol percentage. :)

UPDATED: OCT 2, 2007 They sell this in 4 packs of half-liters for $3? In New York, these are 2 bucks for an 11.2 ounce bottle. I won’t be buying more at that price. There is a brassy color and a light head. The aroma is moderately yeasty with a little spice. It is velvety with a light burr on the tongue. Is this the same as Beer Chang (also made by Carlsberg), which I enjoyed a great deal in Thailand? This is one of the best malt liquors I can think of, but it is not worlds above the cheap junk. It is not very interesting, but they don’t skimp on the alcohol - it makes for solid drinking.

Pours a cloudy yellowish/orange squash color. Head is super thick, and hangs on for dear life a long, long time. Smells of sweet metallic flowers. Tastes very sweet. Surprisingly the high alcohol content doesn’t show. No burn in the throat or corn flavor. Has a bitter but pleasant after-taste. This is malty, but you can’t really taste the malt. You can see it and feel it, but not taste it. Strange. This isn’t bad and at $2.19 for a 4 pack of 16.9 ounce cans (Woodmans in Kenosha, WI on 08/29/2007) it makes a Jim Dandy alcohol delivery system.

this was the first beer I drank that had a real kick when I was a kid... never liked the taste and still find it too alcohol heavy

Pours a bizarre luminescent orange. Smells of acid and metal shavings. Overly sweet and cloying taste. Pretty bloody awful.

On tap in Paris. Didn’t find it too different from regular Carlsberg. Tastes like a regular lager, could hardly tell it had more alcohol in it and was surprised when I found out. Largely thin with slight bitter aftertaste similar to it’s brother.
