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. bottle. Pours a nice amber color w/ a light white head. Smells heavily of caramel and hard alcohol. Light to medium bodied, goes down like hard alcohol, burning sensation in esophagus. Interesting brew.

Clear medium amber, thin off-white head, good retention but not much lace. Aroma of light caramel and alcohol, quickly fading. Flavor has a lot of simple sweetness and alcohol in it, but not much other character. A bit of medicinal bitterness on the finish. Potent alcohol warming, definite syrupy heft to the beer.

Deep copper pour with a tiny white head and lace. A deep brown sugar aroma dominated for me. Brown sugar on the flavor followed by a very light smooth finishing bitter. A bit foamy medium bodied beer.

Bottle. Dark amber, medium to thin head. Sugary fruity aroma, honyey:ish flavour with a distinctive bitterness to the finish. Prominent alcohol.

Sampled at Beerhawk’s Beer Gods in the Boro, aka 1000 Bottles of Beer on the Wall, By God Beer God Gathering, BG1K Tasting. Rich orange amber pour with fading off white head. Sweet vanilla, brown sugar, and alcohol. Not that bad, but nothing crazy special.

Pours perfect amber. Glorious! Think white head doesn’t last long. Nose is very spirit like. Reminds me of Macallan, maybe Glenkinchie single malt. Thick, full bodied, alcoholic warmth, and caramel infused syrupy. Warm and honeyed towards the finish. Aftertaste is very malty sweet.

Beautiful aroma of sweet ripened fruits, malty, bread-like, brown sugar. The appearance is also very attractive, a nice copper red color, substantial off-white head. The flavor was very sweet, but not cloying, fruity, brown sugar, slight alcohol (not much considering the abv), baked bread. The finish is where the alcohol comes out, aleaving an alcohol burn in the back of the throat. The finish has a very light bittering hoppiness as well. The mouthfeel is thick, and has a slickness to it as well. I really enjoy this style. While this is not the best Eisbock, it is certainly very enjoyable. Only the fact that it’s a little too boozy keeps it from being a classic.
