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

flat beer, coke colour, sweet and caramel aroma, taste is sweet malt, alc and maybe some caramel, nothing special, I would never call it a prper bock

Deep reddish colour with a small off white head. Malty, grainy aroma with a dried fruit sweetness. Artificial sweet flavor with alcohol hints in the finish.

Thin for style; malt flavours are very simple, and not balanced off with anything. Tastes like corn was used, but I don’t know for sure. Bargain bock (actually popular in Canada for its alcohol/price ratio).

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.

dark brown with little head, the brew has caramel aroma. the flavor is a bit of coffee and caramel.

UPDATED: JAN 7, 2003 Mid brown apperance . taste like not so fresh nuts . Smels like nail polish with stronger touch of alcohol than malt liquers !

This is really bad. Looks like cola and smells way too sweet - like they added saccharine to the malts. First sip is decent, but with each passing sip (or swallow), the flavour becomes increasingly overpowered by a metallic bitterness that lingers. As the glass emptied, this became almost undrinkable. This is a beer for teenagers and those who just want to get ripped on a high alcohol can of crud. Horrible.

kind of sweet kind of coffee tasting. Poor qualty not like I expected more from Fax. Advice is to go for the 10% and get drunk faster.
