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.

11.2 oz from my departmental picnic - thanks, John! Been a while since I’ve had this. Rich, full bodied, and very sweet, it’s got heavy carbonation to keep things from getting to syrupy and to mask the alkie burn just a bit. Lots and lots of caramel malts tend to mask some of the distinctiveness of the eisbock style, but it’s certainly a fairly pleasant rendtion.

Bottle, from Noel Cuveliers, Abele. Warm tangerine colored pour, a bit of off-white head that settles away almost immediately. Deep rummy raisin aroma, viney, spicy port, deep caramel sweetness. Chewy caramel sweetness up front, a pleasant earthly quality, bright carbonation that gives the impression of dryness to the finish. Very well constructed, and understated for its strength. Nice beer.

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.

From a bottle poured a brown/amber color with a good amount of head. Flavor sweet malty, with a lingering finish.
