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.

A lot better than a normal pilsner. Has a distinctive flavor - a lot maltier but has more character than typical malt liquor some hop flavor/bitterness...

Thylacine (509) - Tasmania, AUSTRALIA - JUL 13, 2007
330 ml bottle - Clear pale gold. Thin white head. Thin to medium body. Medium carbonation. Leaves the mouth feeling a bit sticky, Too sweet, malty with a bit of alcohol showing through and a lightly bitter, metallic finish. Can’t say I particularly enjoyed it.

Bottle. Clear pale amber with a small white head. Fair lacing. Thin bodied with average/high carbonation. Sweet at first, with a crisp dry, mildly bitter finish and also with a slight alcohol flavour coming through.

Allen (2394) - SWITZERLAND - JUL 12, 2007
Canned 33cl. It pours a yellow beer with a big rocky head that remains for quite a while. The aroma is of hops, malt and metal with some alcohol coming through. The taste isn’t sweet at all. Metallic, hoppy with light malt and alcohol... All in all not a pronounced flavor. Some corn to the tase. The finish is metallic and rather hoppy.

This godawful porridge has been rated by my fellow "experts" as being twice as good as bud light. I’m drinking it right now. It tastes like they put Mickeys in a can with 40 pennies at the bottom and somone froze the beer, then got it really, really hot, then repeated the process 40 times and served. I did talk to The Penguin after I drank it, so its not ALL bad.

11.2 oz bottle. Oooh the Elephant. This beer is not bad for a malt liquor...but it is still a malt liquor.
