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.

Bottled. Pours a medium amber color. Aroma is malty and sweet with a little bit of fruitiness. Malty sweet flavor. Some dark fruitiness as well. Some roasted maltiness in the finish. Alcohol is not too noticable. Enjoyable brew.

May 19, 2007 Re-rate <P> Musy, stewed fruit and malt aroma has an edge of cherry liquer to it. The body is a transparent orange/amber and the thumb thick white, diminishes rapidly. Dry fore is malt laden with fruit notes on the edges and a sort of toasty, spent grainy flavor. Alcohol and very faint maple and caramel notes make up the finish. I really hated this the first time I had it a year or so ago, but I find it much more palatable. I’ve also learned that it isn’t really an Eisbock just a very strong lager. <P> Original Rating: 2.4 <P> I have only had a few eisbocks, but this is the first I did not like. Way too present alcohol made it undrinkable. And what flavors there are a kinda malt/caramel sweetness are buried in that alcohol. If there was an Avery label on this I’d totally believe it was an Avery beer.

Copper-red-gold in color with good beige head. Aroma mostly of cider-apple and alcohol. A lot of these two in the flavor as well, and the alcohol presence is not disguised as well as others of this magnitude. Not too crazy about this one.

Orange-amber, almost salmon colored, and lacking a head so it almost looks like a tinted wine. Hearty alcoholic malt aroma that reappears in the flavor. A great, warming , heavy on the palate, winter beer. Like a fine, malty wine.

Unusually viscous feeling in the mouth. It tastes like overripe apples and raisins. The odor is the same. Second and third swigs did not improve my feelings. Very disappointed. I let the drain sample the rest.

Smells like apple juice. Nothing else, just apple juice. Develops zero head, and looks like dark, rotten apple juice. The taste is slighty redeeming, with a decent malt profile and a controlled sweetness. Palate is nice too, but you can really feel and taste the alcohol in this beer. Carbonation, though slight, stings a little. Not too thrilled with this one at all. EDIT: This beer really sucks. I just poured it down the drain.
