A fellow club member and highly respected brewer has, IMHO, the perfect Carlsberg Elephant recipe nailed - I'm hassling him for the recipe and I'll post it as soon as I get it...
Cheers,

Sorry, no. I haven't seen Richard in ages but rest assured I will ask him when I next see him. We had his Elephant copy in a club xmas swap and it was excellent...
