Pours a surprisingly dark brown colour wih little head and no lacing. Aroma is quite alcoholic and roasted. Flavour is roasted malt with little carbonation. Surprisingly good.

/,7 % alcohol, but the alcohol is not unpleasent present, only a bit warming. A nice clear tasting and strong beer.

Weak sweet nose. Dark amber colored body, small white head. Slight sweet malt flavor, quite alcoholic.

Can. Brown colour - much like cola. Beige/brown head. Sweetish, malty aroma with fruity and roasted notes. Flavour is sweetish. Alcohol and roasted notes. Notes of melon and apple. Slightly metallic. Nice!

Very dark brown, small creamy tanned head. Toasted malty aroma plus burnt sugar. Roasted malty, carbonated, a bit sweet, bitterish, alcoholic flavor. Nice suprise, I couldn’t think that Faxe can brew this good - certainly underrated here (propably because of the brand).

(Can 50 cl) I always wondered why Faxe doesn’t market their best beer on their home turf. But we still have to go abroad to buy this. Very dark brown - almost cola-coloured. Extremely full-bodied, malty with some nutty notes. Dry without being immensely bitter with a pleasant, balanced sweetness. A very nice beer indeed and rather close to a typical German bock. 261299
