Carlsberg Elephant

Brewed by Carlsberg Brewery
Style: European Strong Lager
Copenhagen, Denmark

Reminds me of Euro Mickey’s- Pours a clear yellow colour. Taste is a predictably grainy and watered down. Aroma is skunkified mildly hoppy and dull.

Bottle, Kegs & Barrels, McKinney, TX. Pours more of a hazy gold then the advertised amber and has a white head with ok retention, actually laced the glass....oop’s, now the head is gone...strange....anyway..Aroma is of strong skunk and some malt. Flavor was supprising given the aroma.....is a nice sweet malty beer, but appears to have an old hop taste with slight bitter and leaves a somewhat undesirable after taste, I appreciate a nice bitter in beers, but this bitter taste like skunk. For being a 7%+ beer, it doesn’t seem to have much of an alcohol presence stick out, it seems well balanced on that note. Palate is medium with high carbonation. This isn’t a horrible beer, it’s pretty tasty at first.....why must they put this in green bottles to be distributed??? It just ruins the quality and makes it a cheap beer....just my thoughts.....

Golden yellow color with lacy medium white head. Aroma is sweet malty, hoppy and alcoholic. Maybe also a nice hint of ethyl acetate. Malty, fruity flavor with alcohol and some grassy hops. Medium-bodied and quite carbonated palate.

Smells of an elephant/skunk fart. I never knew elephants could survive Denmark’s climate...well of course they can’t. Neither can green bottles. Taste is better than the smell.....that isn’t a compliment. Almost like a 7.2 heiniken. Maybe it can comfort you on an iceberg before you commit suicide while listening to poorly played death metal. Still..who wants an elephant-skunk to fart on their beer. $8.49 a six pack is an awfully high price for Elephant farts..and I don’t care if they are endangered farts.

A clear orange colored beer, with a white head. wit big bubbles. The head is disappearing quickly. The aroma is grainery, some malt andgrassy. There is some smell which is hardly to discribe. The taste is a little sweet, with tones of bitter. Notes of old grain. Not a nice combination of tastes. Absolutely not my kind of beer. And I think this is not a good example of Danish beers.

Bottle. Clear golden colour with small creamy white mostly diminishing head. Weak malty aroma. Sweet flavor. Bitter finish.

Hadn’t had this since I had visite the brewery in 2002. Pours a clear dark gold with quickly dissapating fizzy white head. Aroma is very boozy and sweet. Flavor is basically all alcohol and syrupy sweetness. I like it, but I see why others do not.

Good head. Weak smell of nothing that smells good. Dark color is differnet and intriguing. The flavor is weak sauce. It tastes like a bad IPA. It has a taste that is a level of mild and unperticular that borders on water beer. It leaves a bad taste on the middle of my tounge. I like some of Carlsberg’s stuff, but this is an average beer.
