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.

330ml bottle. Skunky malt aroma with some floral hops and alcoholic vinous fruitiness. Pours a hazy sort of gold with a white head that doesn’t want to stick around. Moderately full body, sweetness is apparent, some honeyish malt with some underlying skankiness comes through, some light wine-like fruitiness also in there. Finish is moderately bitter with some floral hopiness apparent, alcohol flavour seeps through drying the palate. Not sure why i bought a 6 pack of these, I guess its been a while since i tried one, it’s rocket fuel more than anything else.

jgentgesdo (597) - Tulsa, Oklahoma, USA - MAY 29, 2007
Faintly musty cardboard nose with a little sweetness, and alcohol. Strong alcohol flavor with rather stale malty sweetness. No hops character but some bitterness at the end, and pervasive alcohol. DO NOT WANT

DruncanVeasey (4800) - NUNEATON, Conference North, Warwickshire, ENGLAND - MAY 23, 2007
Bottled. Pale yellow pour with a slight haziness and impressively rocky snow-white froth. Fingers of lace. Wet straw and hop grassiness. Almost a sniff of mandarin. Slightly syrupy malt with a crisp finishing bitterness. Unexpectedly refreshing by the 275ml measure. Would probably be singing its praises if it was Belgian. Sort of tastes like a sup of your dad’s pint did when you were 7 years old. Bitter, metallic and booze-sodden. You know you shouldn’t like it, but you can’t help youself.

Can. Strong hoppy smell, medium sour and sweet. Big white head and yellow body. Thick flavor, long lasting, no carbonation.

Avatar (82) - Gliwice, POLAND - APR 22, 2007
0,33 Bottle. Golden with white head wich disapeared quickly. Strong aroma wich I didn’t like really. There was also something wrong with flavour. Sweet. After all it was interesting cause it’s quite different from what i am used to. Still not what I would like to taste once more.

Had in BVI. Pours a golden lager with a med white head. Has a large malt flavor. Has hints of malts, and sweet hops. Alcohol is perfectly balanced with a small bitter aftertaste.
