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.

Quite good. Malty with nice complexity, medium body. Alcohol was present, but definitely not forward. Would like to have this again.

Strong alcohol, cherries, marzipan and berries in the aroma. Clear, burnished copper coloured body with a low, off white head that recedes to ring. Alcohol and vinous dark fruits in the flavour. Very hot. Medium body with prickly, intense carbonation. Bottle sampled at D.B.A. in NYC with Olivier_MTL and Rastacouere.

Bottled at Fynske Øldage, Odense, Denmark. Quite flat, dark golden, with an off-white head. Aroma is mostly malty sweetness and alcohol. Warming, sweet malty flavor. Full bodied. (051029)

From a snifter. Pours a lovely clear red color with a small head and absolutely no lacing. Aroma is of cherry, plum, apple, copper, and lots of alcohol. Extremely sweet and fruity flavor carries on with the aforementioned fruits. Alcohol presence is ridiculously high and the sweet syrupyness is a little over the top for me. This is only the third Eisbock I’ve tried and it is easily my least favorite.

An intense malt taste that is exceptionally sweet, the color is an orange influenced amber with a medium dirty white head. The alcohol level is insanely high, this percentage of alcohol is well apparent. I am not used to this type of beer, too sweet for my preference. I just drank 1 and feels like I had at least 2, thanks to the alcohol content.

Bottle at Firkin’s, Libertyville, IL. Clear amber hued having a rapidly diminishing large off-white head with excellent lacing. Heady sweet malt aroma with hints of toffee and fruits. Full-bodied with heavy consistency of maple syrup. Starts with smooth creamy malt flavor with slight hop and finishes thickly with slight cloying sweet flavor with some hop touches. Definite alcoholic warmth. A tasty drinkable eisbock beer that’s best enjoyed without food.

Overall, not a bad beer. I tried The Ayinger the night before though and this one isn’t in the same class. Nice head, with decent lacing that faded quickly. Overall, I’d drink it again if it was available but not something I would go out of my way for.
