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.

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.

12 oz bottle; This is definitely not on the same level as Mickey’s or Olde English. It’s funny because I didn’t even realize it was a malt liquor. This beer is way too sweet to be a good malt liquor in my opinion. Thank god it’s 7.2% alc.
