2.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
This is such a contrasting beer. Pours dark black with red edges. Has a sweet aroma from the malts, but the taste is all bitter hops. This beer needs to be drank cold as its gets more bitter as it warms. By the end of the glass I just wanted it to be over. The bitterness lingered way too long.
2.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
500ml Can: Pours deep black with red edges to it, with an initially large head that reduces to a scum-like layer. A sweet, malty aroma, albeit somewhat faint until I shook my glass like a British nanny. Taste is hard, bitter, with a strong pepper tone to it. Sweet aftertaste, almost apple. Doesn’t make up for a flavour that’s just too harsh for my palate. Drink this one ice-cold or you’ll regret it.

500 ml can, 7.7% a/v
I beleive this is my first bock! Lets see how i like it! Pours an intensely dark rub red, with a fine light brown head. Faint smell of roasted malt. Tastes slightly fruity when it first hits the toungue then goes on to have a slightly spicy taste. Pretty good beer, but maltier then I expected. My favorite faxe beer so far!

3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Deep red-brown, moderate tan head, decent lace. Aromas of butterscotch with an earthy element. Generous caramel malt flavour, slightly nutty, earthy. Full-bodied but not cloying or harsh. A decent bock indeed!
1.5 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 6/20
Pour body for the style. Not a complex taste, no balance. I expected it to be the best of the 3 Faxe beers available to me. It was the worst.
