Faxe Extra Strong Beer
Not much head at all, the beer is a slightly dark yellow without much carbonation.
It smells sweet and full of alcohol.
The taste is a lot the same. A syrup in the background and a strong alcohol taste on top.
Not much too it except its strength.

Faxe Extra Strong Beer
Rich golden color with a pure white head.
Lace lingers.
Sweet smell which I can't define.
Starts out sweet, leaves a creamy feel in the mouth and finishes sweet as well.
10% so a little on the not so cold side is called for.
I will buy this again because I like it's maltiness.
I found that this is the best beer to add to chili because of it's sweetness.

Is this stuff the brew that made the Berserker go berserk?

Faxe Extra Strong Beer
A thin and short lived white head on a golden amber coloured beer.
The aroma is quite sweet with honey and a strong alcohol aroma.
Feel is pleasantly rich and creamy.
Taste starts with some corn and honey sweetness, the alcohol taste is quite strong. Some light citrus hop tastes are in there but mostly buried by the alcohol, a light buttery taste comes through as the beer warms slightly.
It bears a faint resemblance to some Belgian Trappist style ales but does not have anything like the depth of flavours or the subtleties that a good Abbey Ale presents.
At 10% it is certainly not a session beer, it does have enough flavour to stand up against some fairly strong tasting foods and eating would be essential if you were going to have more than one of these.

Demands to be drank at room or fridge temperature.
Tried it in a frosted mug and was turned off by an aftertaste that resembled grain alcohol.
As the beer warms the aroma takes on apple and honey characteristics.
Tastes of corn and barley.
Works well with salty food.
It's a treat - in small amounts.
