Commercial Description:
Pasteurised strong lager.
First brewed in 1959. Sold in a 330ml bottle in 1989 as "the beer you will never forget". In May 1996 Elephant Beer was repackaged into an emerald green 275ml bottle.
UK version is brewed at the Carlsberg Northampton brewery.
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.

Pretty much stopped buying this stuff after I realized what a 6-pack made me feel like in the morning. But after a fight with the old ball-n-chain, it’s a good way to cloud your mind.

Poured an amber color with little lacing. I enjoyed the hearty flavor, but the alcohol was a little overpowering.

330ml bottle. Poured with a huge rocky white head. Sparkling yellow/amber in colour with small medium body. Aroma of fruitiness.

A friend from England loved this stuff until I got him drinking some good beer. I think he liked the alcohol content. Gets you drunk faster than most crap beer.

Bottle. Clear bright golden-amber with no head. Nose is sweet caramel and honey. Flavor is disgusting, caramel mixed with creamed corn? Ouch. Harsh alcohol bite. Instant drainpour for the safety of all involved.

Bottle 0,33l. Golden colored. An ok creamy head. Strong sweet fruity aroma. Bland flavor with some fruity hints. Some bitterness in a dry finish. This beer was one of my favorites 30-40 years ago. The beer probably has not changed much. I definitely have. KI=4
