"Faxe Dark Fest Bock Bière Danoise Importèe". Can. Darkish amber colour with an average lasting off.white head. Aroma of caramel and toasted malt. Sweet and malty flavour with some fruitiness and a little bitter finish.

Pours a clear dark brown color with a medium creamy offwhite head. Aroma of dark fruits with some malt. The flavor has dark fruits but the malt is almost non-existant and it is surprisingly bitter, which is not right, there is also some alcohol presence. The body is light with a creamy texture and low carbonation. Slightly better than the Premium but there’s no enjoyment there.

Can. Brown colour with a beige head. Aroma and flavour of hops, fruit and alcohol.

Nice Faxe. The appearance is very appealing. It is a dark brown opague beer with a dense beige head, that has a quite good durability. The aroma is marked by some flower-like aroma hops and a great fruityness. It reminds me of a powerful brown ale this far. The flavor is rather malty, but not as sweet as you would expect. On the other hand the beer in rather dry. There are still a nice fruityness, but also some notes of cofee, which gives associations with a baltic porter. The aftertaste is with malts, a good amount of bitter hops and a little coffee. A good beer that approximately tastes like a mix between a brown ale and a porter.

Can.50cl. Good bock, nice flavor, nice aroma, dark color, deep plate. The Faxe i have ever tasted.

500 mL can. Deep, dark brown, with beige head that very quickly dissipates to a film. Aroma of molasses and alcohol. Taste of black coffee, molasses, and roast, with hops near the finish. Leaves you with the taste of licorice. Alcohol is not as prominent as expected; it goes almost unnoticed until the finish. I like. It could be dangerous.
