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.

This is a tough one to describe. I have noticed that when you hit the 11% alc mark you can feel the belly warming effect. This pours a beautiful brassy amber color. Faint head. This is a true sipping beer. I liked it.

Keg Can. Pours amber\golden with a decent off-white head. Aroma of caramel malts and hops. Flavor is overly sweet with bitter hoppy undertones. I just wasn’t enjoying this one.

bottle. Pours an amber color with minimal head. The aroma is sweet like caramlized sugar. This brew definitely walks the line of being too sweet, but doesn’t quite become excessive. The caramelly sweetness is thick and sticky. The finishes is semi earthy and brings out slight notes of bark. Pretty straight forward brew here, drinkable enough.

served from an 11.2 oz brown bottle, liked the packaging on this one : simple yet elegant. Dark amber coloured beer, very large bubbly/creamy tan head which i thought unusual for this alcohol volume..but it looked cool. Sweet aromas of ripe red apples and sweet bing cherries, stronger sherry like tones also picked up..quite complex. Quite a bitter/sweet taste, both clash early but somehow it works. This does taste a little like a good sweet sherry and of cherries. The alcohol is noticable but not ugly. Semi dry/woody finish. Long lasting and pleasurable after tastes. Pretty nice on the palate, smooth with low carbonation make this an ideal "sipper". Drinkable? yes but not one that is gonna be a session beer LOL. Just a nice after dinner cold weather dessert beer, which I found I liked. unlike most here apparently!!

11.2 oz bottle. Crystal clear orange-brown. Slight off white head. Super pungent sweet malt, cereal like. Some almost barleylike notes. Flavor is candylike maltiness - did I mention malt? Hops are there, but as an afterthought. Full, rich, sturdy body, slightly oily. Good example of an eisbock? No. Good beer? Yes, but seriously, be ready. Hope you like sweet malt.

From bottle. This beer is all malt! Nary a trace of hops to be detected save for a smidgen of bitter somewhere in the end, which may just have been the alcohol in the finish. Pours ruby with a thin tan head. Nose is caramel, toffee, brown sugar and molasses. Flavor follows with a very chewy palate. Glad to have split this one with Immy, as I’m not sure I could have drank a whole one.
