Faxe Stout
Royal Unibrew A/S

Just had some Faxe Premium which wasn't premium, let's see is this 7.7 stout will refresh my tastebuds...cool can design!

Very creamy head, typical stouty mild chocolattey aroma.

I like Guinness and Belgian dark beers, but I am not a big fan of stouts usually. This however is fairly good, I like that it's 7.7%, the extra strength gives it some oomph like a viking invading other countries looking for beer.

Overall a pretty good example of a stout, better in winter when there is lots of snow. Very warming choclatey taste with a great alcohol kick.

Better than the premium pilsner and much more interesting...and stronger yay : ))
