Faxe 10% Extra 500ml
★★★★★ 5.0 (1 review)You want one beer that does the work of three. This is it. Faxe 10% Extra is a Danish strong lager that drinks rich, malty and warming, with a glow that creeps up on you in the best way. Crack one on a slow Nairobi night when you're settling in, not rushing out. Sip it. This is not a chug-it-and-go kind of beer.
First sip is sweeter than you'd expect, more like malt loaf and a little toffee than anything sugary. There's a baked-bread, biscuity thing going on underneath from all that malt. Then the strength shows up: a warming, almost wine-like depth with a firm, slightly boozy bitterness on the back end to keep it from going syrupy. It pours a clear golden colour with a big white head. Full-bodied and rounded, it finishes drier than it starts.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
Faxe comes from the small town of Faxe in Denmark, where the brewery has been going since 1901. These days it's part of Royal Unibrew, one of Denmark's biggest drinks names, but the beer still carries that bold, no-half-measures Danish strong-lager reputation. The Extra Strong is the one Faxe is best known for around the world, and the 10% is the heavyweight of the family.
