Can, 0.50l. Aroma of roasted malt, coffee, dried fruit and vanilla. Pours pitch black color with thick creamy dark brown head and average sparkling appearance. Taste starts with sweet and rich roasted malt, nuts and chocolate, following is milky with mild fruity and whiskey acidity, mouthfeel is smooth and warm, while finish is mild bitter. Full body, thick creamy texture and soft carbonation in palate. Deadly elephant…

Nitro tap at CBF Wien. Black body, with a medium, creamy, lacing, tan head. Aroma of dark chocolate, coffee, tobacco, some toffee, slight dark fruits. Tastes quite similar, while fuller, with more dark chocolate and some tiramisu impression. Full, very creamy mouthfeel, with a moderate carbonation. Finishes smooth, medium roasty, moderate sweet, with dark chocolate, tiramisu, tobacco, slight dark fruits. Delicious! Very creamy, not only the mouthfeel, but also the character, with loads of smooth chocolate notes, while also enough roasty notes for a great balance. Score: 8 / 4 / 8 / 5 / 17

Elefanten auf Bierdosen sind grundsätzlich nichts besonderes. Man denke an den Carlsberg-Elefanten. Hier wird wieder einer bedrohten Tierart gedacht, dem afrikanischen Waldelefanten (Loxodonta cyclotis), dem kleinen Verwandten der bekannten Savannenbewohner, die durch Zerstörung des Lebensraums massiv bedroht sind. Das Bier ist ein wahres Schwergewicht, nicht nur wegen der 10% Alkohol, sondern auch wegen des intensiven Geschmacks nach Kaffee und dunkler Schokolade - imperial Stout at its best. Es ist nicht leicht zu trinken, aber es ist eine wahre Aromenbombe, die sicher ihre Freunde findet. Mir persönlich war es aber zu stark.
