Faxe Black – Denmark’s Bold Dark Lager Beast
Get ready to crack open a can of deep, daring decadence with Faxe Black, a 500ml powerhouse of dark lager brewed by Royal Unibrew in Faxe, Denmark—a brewery founded in 1901 by Nikoline and Conrad Nielsen, renowned for crafting beers that punch above their weight. Launched as a premium export under the Faxe banner, this isn’t just a beer—it’s a robust experience at 10% ABV, blending the finest barley malts, hops, and water into a full-bodied brew that’s as dark as a Nairobi night and as rich as the Rift Valley soil. Imported to Kenya by WOW Beverages since 2017, it’s crafted with a time-honored recipe, delivering smooth caramel and roasted coffee notes that make it a standout in the strong beer scene. Pour it out, and you’ll see a jet-black liquid crowned with a creamy tan head, teasing your senses with an aroma that’s a roastery in a glass—deep roasted malt hits first, layered with sweet caramel swirls, a hint of dark chocolate, and a subtle smoky whisper that promises intensity. Sip it, and it’s a flavor avalanche: a velvety malt wave crashes in with toasty richness, balanced by caramel sweetness and a coffee-like bitterness, finishing with a warm, lingering glow that’s as bold as Kenya’s spirit.

What’s the secret behind Faxe Black? It’s the craft and the strength. Royal Unibrew’s brewmasters start with premium barley malts—roasted to a dark perfection—mashing them with pure Danish water and fermenting with a yeast that coaxes out a vinous depth, free of added alcohol or artificial shortcuts. The 10% ABV is achieved through traditional brewing techniques, not boosters, making it a natural heavyweight that’s smoother than you’d expect—less harsh than lighter rivals like Faxe 10% Extra, more complex than local stouts. It’s a beer for Nairobi’s connoisseurs—perfect for sipping slow by a bonfire in Ngong Hills, pairing with hearty nyama choma where the malt matches the char, or rich chocolate cake where the coffee notes dance in harmony. Serve it cool at 8-10°C (not ice-cold) to unlock its full flavor—pour it into a glass to savor the foam—or crack it straight from the can for a rugged, no-fuss vibe that suits a late-night unwind or a festive toast. The 500ml can, with its striking black-and-gold design, is a statement in itself—ideal for tossing in a cooler for a braai at Karura Forest, gifting to a beer aficionado, or stocking your fridge for those moments when you need a brew that’s as fearless as you are. Faxe Black isn’t just a beer—it’s a taste of Denmark’s brewing legacy, canned up for Nairobi’s flavor-craving crowd who live for quality over quantity. Enjoy it responsibly—this dark giant’s got a kick that creeps up like a leopard in the bush.
