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.

Ferris (562) - Edmonton, Alberta, - FEB 14, 2013

Bottle - Smells like a strong cider with a bit of grain. Clear yellowish with a thick persistent head. Tastes like a crappy cider, not too sweet and tasteless. Surprised how tasteless a beer of this strength can be.

Bottle. The alcohol really cuts through in this in a very unappealing way.

What this beer makes up for in terms of alcohol it loses in drinkability. Astringent aftertaste.

andriesradu (198) - ROMANIA - MAY 31, 2013

33cl bottle. Pours hazy golden-orange with a dense white head. Sweet malty aroma. Flavour is mainly malty and hoppy in the end. Can’t feel the 7.2 alchool at all.

January 2010. Bottle. Pale yellow with a white head. aromas of malt, yeast and wet hay. The high alcohol shows through making the beer off balance.

50 cl. can @ home, bought somewhere in Belgium. This version has 7,5% ABV. Pours old yellow with a white head. Sweet grainy aroma and taste. Your typical strong lager but I had worse.
