Carlsberg Elephant is a so-called 'Bock Bier', brewed for the first time in 1959. The ample use of malt gives Carlsberg Elephant a vinous and rich character with apple, melon, banana, and caramel flavours balanced with a dry bitterness and hints of oak, bark, nuts and pine needles. The colours is pale gold with white foam. The elephants on the beer's label are inspired by the two pair life-size elephant statues, which form part of the main entrance to the Carlsberg Group's headquarters in Copenhagen. Food Pairings: Enjoy together with spicy dishes and heavy food, such as yellow peas, roasted duck or fried eel.
