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.

12oz bottle pours amber with a short beige head that was rather short lived. Aromas of alcohol, honey, and some caramel with a kiss of molasses. Flavor is caramel, molasses, alcohol, honey, and some grape skins. Full bodied with a sticky sweet palate and some alcohol heat at the finish.

Clear copper body topped by a short-lived beige head. Sweet alcohol on the nose. Taste is whisky-kind-of-malt wrapped in brown sugar with a few drops of vanilla to hold it up together. As the beer warms up, some berries flavours and a pleasant woody (cedar) flavour sneak in. Hop character is non-existent. All that would be fine if it wasn’t for the crushing alcohol presence and cloying sweetness. EKU 2.1

Bottle - Dark amber with thick creamy head. Strong aroma of malt, caramel, and alcohol. Flavors of thick sweet malt, molasses, honey, caramel, hint of bitter hops in the finish along with warming alcohol. I really liked the creaminess of it all and haven’t gotten that out of many beers.

Mmmm, very nice. Poured with a huge, thick, foamy, light tan head. Very little lace. Great dark copperish amber color. Aroma is very intense malty, caramel, toffee, and yeasty. Flavor is the same. Finish is yeasty bitter at first then fading to above sweet flavors. A hint of the big alcohol, but not bad. Super rich; would only want one or two. Having this one with a bowl of spicy congee and it’s a perfect match. They have it a Bodega downtown La Crosse too.

Bottle. Small and quickly disappearing off-white head. Clear amber body. Dry honey aroma. Sweet and sugary honey hops flavor with just a hint of alcohol.

Bottled at Monk’s Café, Stockholm. Clear amber, no head. Lots of dried fruit, Concentrated flavour of bready malt, figs, ripe fruits and grass. Very full bodied. Sugary and somwehatsyrupy with some port-like characteristics. Fairly clean mouthfeel. Almost no bitterness. Very powerful, but not with that much finesse.

This poured a very clear and attractive deep amber-brown color with fat and foamy white head that left moderate lacing rings in the glass. Nose was of malts, caramel, fruits, and mild hops. Mouthfeel was very riich and flavors mostly malts and fruit. The alcohol was hiden nicely, and the finish was mediium to long. Great beer. Not sure how I missed this on up to now.
