Carlsberg Elephant is the wealthy man's malt liquor

After I graduated college, I went with David on a 22 day whirlwind tour of 9 cities in Europe. Denmark was the only country I hadn't traveled to before and long before there was a passion for beer stirring inside, I decided it was a good idea to visit the Carlsberg brewery outside in Copenhagen. I didn't try the their Elephant beer because I was too enamoured with the beers available at the brewery which weren't avail in the states. This beast is 7.2% and my guess is this is going to be too malty and alcohol infused for me. Let me start my scientific method though to confirm. Bottle to lips and tilt:

When I'm not enjoying Carlsberg Elephant, I drink martinis by my Elk Horns.

It actually has a surprising bite too it, but my early thesis is correct. The Elephant is big and boozy without a character to it. It's not sour malty like many of its European brethren because the alcohol cuts through. It is A LOT of alcohol, yikes. As I stare into the fireplace with a corncob pipe in hand, my conclusion is to call this a rich man's malt liquor. THE ISLAND rating.
