Commercial Description:
This world-famous beer has the character and richness to stand in for fine sherry or port. Just the right degree of sweetness - never cloying; wonderfully aromatic and warming. EKU 28 is the one whenever something good and strong is needed.

Aroma of honey, caramel, bread, slightly winey, with some dark fruit. Huge, caramel, honey flavor with cookies and cake. Sweet and hot. Big, thick palate. Smooth and hot. A fun beer when taken in moderation. Better with some age.

not sure of the age... prolly around a year. reddish orange pour with a thin off white head. the nose is really grainy and sweet... other notes of orange, flowers and alcohol stingy are kicking around as well. the palate is thick though just shy of cloying... i guess that helps keep the alcohol under control... flavors noted of perfume, orange, grapefruit, caramel, loads of grainy sweetness, raisins and perhaps some nutty chocolate with a surprisingly dry finish. thick, syrupy mouth feel makes it hard for me to finish a bottle alone...7/3/7/2.5/15/3.45

Aroma of roasted toffee, ripe apple and caramel. Appearance is reddish gold with off white head. Flavor is pretty boozy, with some caramel and toffee flavors, perhaps raisins as well. Palate is aggressively lively and nearly painful, but also bubbly. A demanding beer meant to be consumed on it’s own.

( 330ml bottle thanks to bu11zeye) Pours clear amber with good lacing. Nose of alcohol, wheat. Taste some alcohol, chocolate, lightly sweet toasted grains. Finishes a little syrupy, but a very good beer.

pretty boozy, but also smoother than you’d expect at 11%. This was closer to a port than a beer, but pretty good.

Amber pour with plenty of Head. Sweet caramel and malt flavor that isn’t too overpowering. Better tasting when consumed directly out of the bottle.
