Bruz: This shit initially tasted like shit. Pure shit. I thought it might be one of the worst ever. But for some reason, after a few sips, it became tolerable. Camo Silver Ice is much worse tasting & about 2% weaker. Overall, for the strongest 40oz in the world, this did not taste like it. It may be in the Top 10 Worst 40s list, but it definitely was NOT the worst. Again, the only truly bad taste was initially, then somehow I got used to it real quick. 8/10 swills. Not higher due to the taste, but not lower because it's so damn strong. I started feeling the buzz halfway through it, but for 11% I thought the final "buzz" would be much stronger than it turned out to be. There's other outside factors regarding how much you may feel a buzz, such as how much you ate previously & how long it took you to drink it. I'm rambling. The day after I ripped non-stop brew beefs & took a mushy shit... Axe Head rules. Much thanks out to "Dirty D" for this prize!

Alvin Karpis: First off a huge shout out to ders0 for the hook up on the Axe Head. I just drank this after being sick and not drinking for about 2 weeks, so the buzz factor is amazing, it really feels like I just drank 2 40s. The taste is really not that bad, it has a real sweet taste, I want to say like St. Ides but its something else that I cant put my finger on. I know that this 40 is 11% unlike the EE Red and Sour that claim 10%, the buzz factor is unlike I have ever had in a single 40. The swill wasnt that bad either. This 40 would be perfect as the first 40 to swill on your day off. If this bitch was in my city I would drink it on at least one of my days off. Taste 7/10 Buzz 10/10 Overall 8/10. I also caught up on some Coach Powell while drinking this! Thanks again ders0

beam21: What the fuck? This tastes like juice... It's indescribable really, it tastes nothing like any 'beer' I've ever had. The backdrop here is I assume axe head is a replacement for rock head, I've had the lowly (and exceedingly rare) 10% rock head before and it was the worst 40 I've ever had. I made that judgment despite the fact that it was my 3rd 40 of the night. This is better, but it's pretty rough. It's very cold, it's been in the freezer for a couple hours... Strong boozy taste, but not that offensive. I can't speak too accurately on the buzz right now, but I'ma cut the review down cause I think I know where the taste and buzz are going at this point. I'll update if it throws me a curveball. There is no reason whatsoever to drink this 40 in a social setting. It's raw and at this point it serves me well. My eyes are half closed I think. 7/10 depressions.

Big John: we have your perfect 10 and Axehead, from Mountain crest brewing. Maybe they import it from somewhere? These can be among the smoothest 40's around. Warm or cold, they go down sweet. However, my local place runs out fast and I have to rely on other 40's to keep me going. You may not be able to get 'em in the US yet, but maybe if you make a run up to Canada. You'll know Perfect 10 by the lady on the label. That's 8.6%. Axehead is 11% and good to go.That's right, 11% ! sez so right on the label If you can't get Black bull, get this, and you won't be sorry. Kinda the same sweet flavor allround, smooth for sure, unlike Black label 10% which is, IMO, pretty nasty but gets you lit up. However, if you're out, you're out, and if you don't have a lot of cash in your pocket.....interested? go to mountaincrest.ca for more info or www.Damngoodbeer.ca if you wanna go the long way

ders0: American: I assume this is the same forumula as the Canadian but I'll post the American disclaimer anyways. Ripping this right now. Not that bad for a 11%. Better than regular evil eye and Camo Ice. Tastes sort of fruity but not too bad. For an 11 it's not bad at all. This is probably the strongest 40 i've ever drank. Is there a 40 stronger than this, I'm not even sure shows my malt wanksterism right there. But yeah for the content it's pretty good. Just killed it awhile ago. Shit is awesome feel like I drank multiple fours but only one. Axe Head fucking rules as a chill 4. Ridiculously awesome. Rip some axe heads.

Dirty D: Axe Head: best 40 ever This shit has almost zero bite to it. even thouugh its 11%. The fisrt swill sucks but after that yous get used to it. It tastes more alik a 6% 40 than an 11%. I would say its better thaan perfect 10. Way better tahn balk bull. 1% more but way less bitter. If you liek black bull you'll love this. 10 otu 10 swills!

neufutur: Axe Head is a very odd 40. The first few sips of the 40 were good, and it rapidly degenerated into swillness. I stuck this in my fridge for about 15 minutes, and then dug into this one. I'm relatively well buzzed off of one 40 and would be completely done with two. There was little crack to this one, and the swill was about as tasty as the rest of the 40. Thank you to ders for providing one of the rarest 40s out there.

I give the taste about a 7/10 and the swill a 7/10.

nickmoulton: Ive been trying to find one of these for a while now..I dont think they sell them around my area..Anyways, my buddy has this at his college and hooked me up ...I experienced my first Axe Head last night..First impression, wow this is probably the coldest forty I have ever dranks.. The beginning was kind of harsh..Reminds me somewhat of St Ides..As I continued, I realized that it really wasnt bad for an 11%...Holy shittt the buzz factor is awesome..It got much more easier for me as I drank..It tasted unexpectedly sweet..Swill wasnt great, but it wasnt horrible either..This forty ended up better then I thought it was going to, 6..maybeee 7/10

nitz011: First sip, taste strong but not bad. The more sip I take the more smooth it is Taste like a 7% or 8% malt... huh 'strong beer' Compare to Black Bull I think the taste is more smoother and the beer is 1% stronger Not the kind of beer I want to drink everyday... But if this beer was available in Quebec ill drink it occasionally At 11% if you want to get drunk for cheap you can't go wrong with AxeHead I give AxeHead 7.5/10 for the taste and 10/10 for the buzz factor.

RickCarling: Good crack opening the cap. and, Holy shit, this brew tastes wicked! Its utterly delicious! Im about a quarter done the bottle, and i can already feel the buzz comin on. This truly deserves the title of "Worlds strongest 40". Half done now, starting to warm up a wee bit...and i detect the more alcoholic flavor now that its getting a bit warmer. I can feel a bit of heat in my chest and face, probably from this strong ass brew. Ok, its almost done now......shit its warm, but i keep on swillin like a true swilla. The alcohol flavour is WAY more intense now that its warm. I just took a huge mouthful of swill and it nearly made me gag. HUGE buzz goin on now, but its a nice smooth buzz, not harsh like other liquor, even tho the swill tastes like black licorice, which i fuckin HATE. Shit, this is a long ass review...sorry, thats just the beer talkin. Ok, im done it now, and my final score for this bastard is an extremely impressive 10/10 swillz. This brew is dope. Pick one up today!

SanJose40Drinker: For 11%, this shit is not bad. tastes like high gravity shit, but not too bad at all. A taste test would tell you this shit is not high alc %.

got me fuckin drunk off my ass too

I agree with bruz thast all CAMO's taste wayyyy worse, and are a bit weaker. Too get wasted this shit is fucking great, buy it and drink it all the time.

Sgt Jmo: Without a doubt this the greatest 40 ever!! I proclaom this the allmighty 40 of 40s! It has the smottthest taste and hardly anty bite but paxks a punch like no other! I followed this with tha st. idedes that I recieved from satan but st. ides is nothing compared to the wonders of the axe head! It is malt liquor bliss!!!!! Never have I been so juiced without having a bad after taste in my mouyth, i give this a 11 ourt of 10 swills!11 Best 40 ever! I love this better than a CAMO, I will give up all props tpo CAMO just to show you fuckers how good the company of mountain crest did on this specatular brew be. Camo s7cks cocke ti the Axe head, BEST 40 ever!!!!

ThUgWiGGa: This shit was horrendous
extremely sweet, almost sickening
its not the alcohol taste that gets you, its the syrup-like sweetness
obviously, the buzz is hardcore, but the taste trade-off isnt worth it
not the worst 10/11% 40, but not the best either
3/10

White Mike: Finally had mine last night, thanks ders0

I had no complaints with the taste of this 40. Def had the thick sweet type of taste you would expect from a 40 with that much percentage. But not bad at all. I was able to drink the whole thing down, and even the last few sips that were a little bit warm were easily torrible.

This provided a tremendous buzz, and really kicked my ass. This was really strong.

willr001: I should explain how i came upon this 40, my lesbo roomate was out with some friends, and ends up getting dropped off blacked out drunk at 3am with a 40 of axehead. Curious, i asked her the next day how she got it, and her response was that she didn't know and i was welcome to it. It is probably easier to get here than most places, as I'm in Minnesota and it's brewed in Wisconsin. I can't say i've drank a lot of forties (pretty much your standard St. Ides, Mickeys, and Old E), at least not since moving out of the dorms, so maybe i'm missing something to compare axehead to, but i will try nonetheless.

For starters, my more mature self wanted to have this served in a glass, as a 40 is a little "ghetto" for my tastes. I usually pour any can/bottle into a nice pint sized beer glass, and at first i though "why not?". I wasn't sure about this move, so i only poured about 4 or 6 ounces into the glass. Color was your typical pissy yellow american beer color, with a soapy head that dissipates quickly. First taste led to pretty severe "bad beer face" and an urge to make anyone around me taste it in order to amuse myself with their reactions. Back in the fridge the bottle went.

Here it is a couple days later and I'm giving it another go sitting here drinking it outta the bottle. Much better choice, i'm assuming due to lack of aroma from a glass. The smell was something, alright. Perhaps the reduced carbonation helps too. Almost drinkable, and getting better by the swill. The only way to describe the taste would be as a mix of beer, licorice, corn syrub and bubble gum with a hint of gasoline. Somehow still drinkable, and i'll forgive it based on the high alcohol content. You gotta put something in it to make it go down, right? After you get past the initial shock at the taste, it actually isn't any worse than any other 40 i've had, and at 11%, gets the job done for rizzle. Finish it before it gets warm though, as i had to throw it in the freezer to get it back down to chill as it warmed up.

I wouldn't pay more than 3 bucks for it, and that would be at a campus liquor store (ripoff). Ppl's quoted price of around 2 bucks, maybe less sounds about right for the taste. If the buzz matters more than taste, i'd pay 3 for it easy. (slightly less than) one of these and i'm nicely toasted. Two would be too much. I'd give it a 7/10 on the uff da scale. (sry, i'm from a norwiegan family) If you can find it in your area, it's worth a shot. If i liked the taste more, i think i'd have found my new favorite drunk-per-dollar drink.

BTW, in the pic, the 5-oclock shadow on the sideburns. I was clean shaved before i started drinking the 40. That's how much of a man drinking it makes you
