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.

Decent sized off-white head. Settles slowly to a nice dense creamy foam. Soft caramel aroma with a good shot of alcohol. Nice legs up the size of the glass. Plenty of malts and a hint of squash. Color is a a bright copper. Thick and rich flavor with loads of caramel and malts. Delicious. Very soft mouthfeel and a big alcohol kick. So smooth going down. Finish is creamy and very warming from the alcohol. Damn I like these Eisbocks. A great sipping brew.

pours amber with a medium sized tan head, aromas of sweet malt, fruit, & alcohol, taste is sweet, fruity, and loaded with alcohol, not bad, but it is every bit an 11% beer.

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.
