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.

A strong beer, smells like caramel and malt, sweet malty flavour with lots of caramel with a strong alcohol finish.

I drank this w/o reading the label first so I was shocked by the first sip of alcohol sweetness, but in the end it wasn’t bad, much like a barley wine.

Pours a copper color. Smellls malty and caramelly. Taste is semi sweet with a very boozy overtone. I need some pretzels.

It’s a really good beer but I prefer something dryer and maltier. EKU 28 is so rich it would be hard to drink for more than a quarter of football. I prefer a solid beer that is less sugary sweet.

Eku 28. The name sounds like a 40 Eazy E might have drank :I drank this after several Pina Coladas-so this beer kinda feels like jet-fuel.Nicer drinking experience than Samichlaus -if putting this strong lager in some kinda context . Its a malt bomb. No shit. The syrupy sweetness could probably clog your vital organs if you drink more than 3. I got lots of apple ester in both smells and flavours-burnt caramel? palate-burning syrup. A malt heart-attack.
