A red-brown beer with a small brown head. The aroma is sweet malty - very simple. The flavor is of caramel, roasted bread, and alcohol. Way too sweet.

(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

Can. Weak, sweet roasted aroma. Very dark brown colour with a red hue. Small head. Roasted, peppery flavour. Well-balanced. Malty, peppery aftertaste. A good Doppelbock.

Hazy brown with medium off white head. Aroma is sweet with malty and grassy notes. Same goes for the somewhat watery flavor...
