Pink Elephant Mammoth

Brewed by Pink Elephant
Style: Brown Ale
Blenheim, Malborough, New Zealand

Tasting notes are missing from my rating. From memory: Deep copper-coloured with hoppy aroma.

Bottle. Pours dark amber with a tanned head. Sweet notes of caramel, toffee, chocolate and dried candied fruit. The richness of the malts are a little too much. The finish is sweet malty. I agree with TimE regarding the overall balance. I’ve found this with other Pink Elephant beers as well. It’s not that bad by any means but could really be outstanding with a few teaks.

Medium amber color with apricots and toffee in the nose. The mouth shows dark fruit, christmas cake, toffee, but is a touch sour and a bit unbalanced. Great depth however, and this beer would go amazing with Christmas cake.

Medium head murky red/brown pour,aroma caramel some fruit,spice brown sugar,flavour,caramel,nut dark fruit taste,good hops flavour,rich sweetness not overdone,brown sugar toffee taste,finish good fruit and malt sweet/bitter good ale.

Bottle. Pours a clear, dark copper colour with a decent white head that doesn’t last too long. Nose has a distinct toffee apple aroma with a bit of sugar and spice in the background. Flavour is quite zesty with hints of malt, caramel, citrus, cola, cinnamon and other spices. Alcohol is very well hidden. Mouthfeel is a little thin but aside from that this is a really nice beer that is very easy to drink.

Browny red body, almost clear, with a lacklustre head. Sweet malt aroma which is only slightly less so in the taste, caramel, low carbonation, medium body. Drinkable but unimpressive.

Pours red/brown with a nice tan head. Nose has dark fruits with caramel malt sweetness. Palate has an abundance of caramel early before dark fruit and spice come into play. Finishes with a hint of drying spice. Great beer, very well balanced but not much of a brown ale...

Enjoyed at Tonic bar with the appy platter. Pours a hazy brown with a lively frothy tan head that generates thick lace. Very fruity yeasty aroma with underlying sweet malts. Fruity (prunes, cherries), subtly spicy palate, slightly musty. Style wise, this seems more like an abby dubbel I think. Really very good, and I’m quite happy that I finally found it!
