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 very strong beer. The taste of alcohol is there. A very special taste as well ice cold as not so cold. Really a beer for persons who have experience with strong beer

Poured a hazy peachy amber. The head was thick, creamy and a bit yellow (see pic). The aroma showed mellow fruit, plum, fig. Some dry alcohol too. The flavor shows the 11%, some musty fig, and sweet fruit. The palate is dry and warm and the finish goes down warm and heats the stomach.

Bottle from Turdferguson. Heavy malt and light spices in the aroma. Copper body with a nice head. Full palate. Heavy malt, some more malt, and a little bit of heat after that. Pretty one-dimensional, but nice flavor.

so here we are. the old ’malt bomb.’ thats what they used to call this beer at the moan and dove. maybe thay still do. I had do drink it then when I was doing my ’list.’ and I remember it being much more powerful than this that I am sipping on tonight. Pours a golden amber with a thin white head. Nose of apple juice, cotton candy, ground black pepper and alcohol. Flavor is sweet and malty, as would be expected, but not as "in yo face mo fo" as I expected. Just kind blah, which is rare for an eisbock. Lightly syruppy mouthfeel.

(Bottle from <A HREF=http://www.ratebeer.com/Place/maine/portland/ target=blank>Downeast Beverage Co.) Hot vanilla sweetness...Pours clear slightly reddish orange with one finger of biege head. Nose is sweet sugar-candy malt. Palate is smooth and syrupy. Taste is quite hot, lots of vanilla and sugar candy sweetness. Like drinking a hot liquer. I like this style but this one I wouldn’t recommend.

I don’t speak German. So it’s a good thing this bronze heady fluid poured out of this brown bottle was an excellent eisenbock and not some type of poison. I don’t know if the Kulmbacher Brewery sells beer for export to English speaking nations, but I’m glad I grabbed a bottle of this. I read with amusment the last reviewer who used this strong beer to assist him in returning to sleep. I"m sure an 11% beer can do that...but then again, so can Robotussin. To me, you dont’ START your driniking off with a beer like this. You have to make sure the ’pump is primed’. Once you get tastebuds ready, this goes down very well and is a much more pleasent experiance.

I’ll remember this one because I really needed a strong beer today. I worked the night and while trying to sleep in the morning, my wife fell while trying to paint the bathroom and I had to help paint it. Then soon as I get back to bed, my daughter in college calls saying she needs my money.(this 3 weeks after her telling me that she has plenty of money and can spend it any way she wants) Oh, the beer had a very alcoholic flavor and I did not like it very much, but it did the job and got me back to sleep.
