| 1.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 7/20 | Nov 17, 2009 Bottle. Pours clear gold with a rocky white head that doesnt last long. Grainy aroma with a soapy undertone, not very nice. Flavour is malty and slightly sweet with hints of caramel and citrus. Thin mouthfeel with a lot of carbonation and a lingering woody, metallic finish. Drinkable on a hot day but overall not particularly good. beercamel (84), Chicago, Illinois, USA
| 1.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 2/10 | 2/5 | 3/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Nov 6, 2009 This beer is great for the alchohol content and being that its a malt beverage. The smell is skunky and the taste is a bit weak other than sugar malts. sound67 (215), Offenbach, Germany
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Oct 15, 2009 500ml can, silver color with elephant logo. Pours a slightly reddish golden yellow, with medium head, little lacing. Medium carbonation, boozy mouth feel due to the high alcoholic volume. Strongly bitter taste of roasted malt, growing even stronger as you keep drinking. Grainy taste, despite alcoholic head note throughout. Dry finish, lingering bitter after taste. If you like a certain grainy bitterness, and if you can accept the alcoholic note to be so upfront, then this is your strong beer. If you like your ale a little smoother, a little sweeter, a little less "brusque", then steer clear of Elephant beer. ;=)
